I will abide in the shadow
Of the almighty
My only peace in the valley
My strength in the fighting
Oh, what a blessed assurance
To look to the heavens and say
"My God is my fortress
What a shelter He is?
No matter the battle
There's no stronger defense
My God is my refuge
So, who should I fear?
Forever He's faithful
My protector is here
My God is my fortress."
He is my help and my stronghold
The wings that I'm under
I'm confident wherever I go
His shield is my cover
My God is my fortress
What a shelter He is?
No matter the battle
There's no stronger defense
My God is my refuge
So, who should I fear?
Forever He's faithful
My protector is here
My God is my fortress
My hope in the night
My song in the fight
Whatever I need
I know he will provide
The light in my soul
The life in my bones
Whatever may come
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone
My God is my fortress
What a shelter He is?
No matter the battle
There's no stronger defense
My God is my refuge
So, who should I fear?
Who should I fear?
Forever He's faithful
My protector is here
My protector is here
My God is my fortress
My God is my fortress
My God is my fortress
