A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Chords

(ver. 1)
Martin Luther
Capo 3

[Verse]
G        D        C      G                        
A mighty fortress is our God,
  Em      G     C D G
A bulwark never failing;                                   
           D   C       G
Our helper he amid the flood
   Em     G    C  D  G
Of mortal ills prevailing.
    Em        Asus A  D
For still our ancient foe
     G       C       Em
Doth seek to work us woe;
              Asus  A   D
His craft and pow'r are great;
    Em         Am    Em
And armed with cruel hate,
            G       C D G
On earth is not his equal.

[Verse]
G         D       C           G
Did we in our own strength confide,
    Em       G        C D G
Our striving would be losing;
             D         C      G
Were not the right Man on our side,
    Em     G         C  D  G
The Man of God's own choosing.
     Em      Asus A   D
Dost ask who that may be?
       G      C     Em
Christ Jesus, it is he,
         Asus A  D
Lord Sabaoth his name,
     Em     Am      Em
From age to age the same,
            G       C D G
And he must win the battle.

[Verse]
G               D           C      G
And though this world, with devils filled,
       Em       G    C D G
Should threaten to undo us,
            D         C        G
We will not fear, for God hath willed
    Em       G       C  D    G
His truth to triumph through us.
    Em        Asus A   D
The prince of darkness grim,
   G       C       Em
We tremble not for him;
            Asus A D
His rage we can endure,
    Em      Am      Em
For lo! his doom is sure;
           G          C D  G
One little word shall fell him.

[Verse]
G          D        C       G
That Word above all earthly pow'rs,
   Em        G     C D G
No thanks to them, abideth;
           D       C         G
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
        Em      G       C D G
Through him who with us sideth;
    Em        Asus A  D
Let goods and kindred go,
     G      C      Em
This mortal life also;
         Asus A   D
The body they may kill:
      Em     Am     Em
God's truth abideth still;
            G      C D G
His kingdom is for-ev-er.
