In this world we will have fear and hurt
And you can rest assured
That God has overcome
He will deliver us
He will deliver us
And His greatness will not be shadowed
And His kingdom will last forever
[CHORUS]
We have a strong city
Waiting for us
There is hope
There is peace
There is rest
In this strong city
We can run to His love
We�??ll find hope
We�??ll find peace
We�??ll find rest
Here in this strong city of God
This strong, strong city of God
We all have days that we just can�??t escape
Everything we try
Every trial we face
It gets the best of us
Our strength is not enough
But His greatness will not be shadowed
And His kingdom will last forever, forever
[CHORUS]
He�??s a refuge and a shelter
For the weak and for the weary
He is healer and protector
For the broken and the needy
He�??s a refuge and a shelter
For the weak and for the weary
He is healer and protector
For the broken and the needy
He�??s a refuge and a shelter
For the weak and for the weary
He is healer and protector
For the helpless, for the broken and the needy
Strong city, Strong city of God
[CHORUS]
