Verse 1:
To the God who cannot be made small
Contained or hidden by religion’s walls
To Him be all the glory, forever all the glory
To the God invisible yet known
Good to saints yet terror to His foes
To Him be all the glory, forever all the glory
Chorus:
A mighty fortress is our God
Unshakeable, unfailing
He reigns triumphant by His Love
His kingdom is forever
Verse 2:
To the God who’s never known defeat
A Mighty Warrior and the Prince of Peace
To Him be all the glory, forever all the glory
To the God who wrestled hell and won
Whose kingdom can’t be stopped or overcome
To Him be all the glory, forever all the glory
Verse 3:
To the God who was and is to come
The longing and the ache on every tongue
To Him be all the glory, forever all the glory
Forever all the glory
Forever all the glory
Forever all the glory
