Lyrics:

A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
He is our help amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
He seeks to do us woe
His wrath and power are great
And armed with cruel hate, but our

Chorus:
God is great, and God is strong
His grace is big and His love is long
His mercy flows when you abide
His shadow covers all who hide in Him

Verse 2:
And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God has willed

I'm sorry, but why revise that which is good?

@carlos10571 - I'm actually not the revisor, The gentleman who taught our chapel service wished for me to learn this version so we could sing it, so I did... SInce it was interesting and not many others had heard this particular rewrite, I thought I might post it.

I also love the original version as well (and have a video of me playing it on my personal facebook page), so... Again, more of an informational posting than one saying that "the original wasn't good enough"... ^_^

Very nice! Love your version of this great song. Would very much appreciate it if you could post a version of Stricken Smitten and Afflicted if you could! Thank you for the wonderful music!
