Fortress
The battle lines were drawn and I can't forget
You gave me a stone in my hand
The giant as real as the waves ahead
But you are asleep in the stern
No, You are not caught by surprise
You are not startled or set aback
You send me out with Your might
You've conquered before and You'll conquer again
You've shaken the earth with Your holiness
Our enemies flee never to resist
Your power sure even in stillness
You are our fortress
I know that if You started it
Then where I am is not the end
You're the God of the victory, sure to win
You're sure to deliver, sure to save
No, You are not caught by surprise
You are not startled or set aback
You send me out with Your might
You've conquered before and You'll conquer again
You've shaken the earth with Your holiness
Our enemies flee never to resist
Your power sure even in stillness
You are our fortress
And when we were wandering, You didn't fret
You were sure of the Canaan ahead
Lost to our idols, You didn't forget
You were true to Your love and Your grace
Pressed on both sides, an army behind
You were sure of the land ahead
And when we defied, hid You from our eyes
You were sure of the cross and the empty grave!
No, You are not caught by surprise
You are not startled or set aback
You send me out with Your might
You've conquered before and You'll conquer again
You've shaken the earth with Your holiness
Our enemies flee never to resist
Your power sure even in stillness
You are our fortress
You are our fortress
You are our fortress
You gave me a stone in my hand
The giant as real as the waves ahead
But you are asleep in the stern
No, You are not caught by surprise
You are not startled or set aback
You send me out with Your might
You've conquered before and You'll conquer again
You've shaken the earth with Your holiness
Our enemies flee never to resist
Your power sure even in stillness
You are our fortress
I know that if You started it
Then where I am is not the end
You're the God of the victory, sure to win
You're sure to deliver, sure to save
No, You are not caught by surprise
You are not startled or set aback
You send me out with Your might
You've conquered before and You'll conquer again
You've shaken the earth with Your holiness
Our enemies flee never to resist
Your power sure even in stillness
You are our fortress
And when we were wandering, You didn't fret
You were sure of the Canaan ahead
Lost to our idols, You didn't forget
You were true to Your love and Your grace
Pressed on both sides, an army behind
You were sure of the land ahead
And when we defied, hid You from our eyes
You were sure of the cross and the empty grave!
No, You are not caught by surprise
You are not startled or set aback
You send me out with Your might
You've conquered before and You'll conquer again
You've shaken the earth with Your holiness
Our enemies flee never to resist
Your power sure even in stillness
You are our fortress
You are our fortress
You are our fortress
