Martin Luther was a white supremacist. Hitler used his in theology to exterminate the Jews during the holocaust. My father would strike me when he was angry for his failures at his work. I had to use my forts as my protection. He attended Calvin College and Hope College in metro Grand Rapids, MI. He ignored the fact I was autistic. My mother taught me about empathy, compassion, and human kindness. I will embrace these ideals the rest of my life, even though I'm an atheist activist. Peace be unto you.

This is my favor rendition of this song. I had been a Christian for 15 but really didn't have it heart and soul until I really read the Bible and now it mean everything those words, The words are so true and mean so much when you realize that Satan is after you and you can't fight against him along as you would be loosing. But with the Right Man on are side, Christ Jesus. It all come together for Martin Luther, This was a real break out song as Luther was he just realized it was all bout Jesus and your own striving is just never enough to get there, It 's all Jesus.

[@PaulaAnn57]

Thinking about the people of Afghanistan Christians today. I pray they continue with their bold courage and faith under fire. They are under severe persecution and yet praise our Lord. Our prayers are with you oh people of Afghanistan! The Lord is with you A mighty fortress for sure!

Growing up from childhood as a protestant Christian and start of my adult life I've become a atheist! Christ have been winning back my heart over time. Thank you for this song it's brought me to tears.

I Love the way you did this old hymn. Today is the 505th anniversary of the day Martin Luther nailed It!!!!JESUS We Need Your Help!!!!!!!!

[@lazerjet7]

this is the generation that will inherit cathedrals like these across the globe...may they be filled with praise pure as this!

[@USAR8888]

The fact Martin Luther wrote this song almost 500 years ago and it still stands today is a testament to how powerful it is. These old hymns man, the lyrics are deep. Puts contemporary Christian music to shame honestly.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

God is the same yesterday today and forevermore, His word has never changed and these old Songs hymns is still unto today the same, not this rubbish Hillsong bethel elevation of today, i go to a church in which we still sing the old pentecostal choruses get sung,and it stays the same, Holy Spirit-filled songs,

[@TheChadPad]

@@Palmstreet-u7x I love the Hillsong Bethel Elevation rubbish and this! All the same!

[@jessicaoconnor6039]

Whatever else one thinks about Luther, he wrote this one truly great song. I loved this song even when I was a Catholic.

[@jeanhawaii2176]

A few days ago I woke up to "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" in my head... I didn't know the song but I had heard of it. What a beautiful message and how wonderful that these are young people. I have new hope for humanity.

[@tammyrobinson9931]

I found this song today after waking up this morning with a “Mighty Fortress is our God” going through my mind… God highlighted the word bulwark! He is our bulwark!

[@vinceputnam4810]

[@theflippinpastor7200]

Great arrangement guys. The best part of the video? Definitely that you recorded a Martin Luther song in a catholic church. Love that.

One of the most beauftiful renditions of this hymn I've heard so far.

I'm a church drummer but gotta say this gifted young man learned his rudiments perfectly! Wow this guy is praising God with his gift!!!

[@sditt08]

I think I broke the replay button... Great rendition, we're doing this version at our church this weekend!

[@tammyrobinson9931]

I woke up this morning and heard God whisper “bulwark”. He drew me to this song! “We WILL NOT fear for God hath willed, His truth to triumph THROUGH US!! 🏆His Kingdom is forever🏆!!

Now. more than ever!

Wow, this version sounds so good. The drummer really lays down a good beat. I have probably listened to this song at least 20 times in the last few days. Well done!

[@charliekurtz1895]

Great rendition! This song means so much MORE to me since ‘The Mighty Fortress’ woke me up out of a coma caused by a brain aneurism. I was in a coma for 4 weeks, and when I finally woke up at UCLA, and the neurologists asked if I recognized the weeping woman at my bedside, my wife of 17 years, I said, “I’m not sure who she is, but I think I like her a lot.” (Of course, I had to be TOLD I said this because I don’t remember SAYING this!!!). To hear my story, search KZbin for “Charles Frank Kurtz”, then spread word that miracles still happen to this very day!!! My being alive to even SAY this is miraculous!!! (I now REMEMBER my wife’s name!!!😆)

[@tatianainchrist]

This is one of my favorite videos for years. God bless you all abundantly

[@penguinZ85]

Almost 10 years ago, I was in the hospital recovering brain surgery and unable to get out of bed. I listened to this song over and over.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (April 27), I said goodbye to a beloved family member (third cousin) and fellow church member who left this world this past Thursday (April 24). We sang this as the family made its way into the church. We love you, Odell.

What a beautiful version of an old spiritual song.

"Praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." Psalm 150:5-6

[@jessicaoconnor6039]

I've listened to this song probably 50 times since I found it about 2 weeks ago. It truly is part of my faith journey, and it just makes me so happy that I can listen to it about a million times.

[@deniseohara8360]

Wow!!!!! This gives me chills! It's so anointed. Love the arrangement. Love EVERYTHING about it!!! Thank you!

[@rebeccawilliams738]

I believe that I am correct -in this run on sentence - and let me know if I am not, that this hymn is one of three hymns Winston Churchill selected to be sung aboard The Prince of Wales in a church service at a secret meeting in the Atlantic with Roosevelt in which Churchill used Christianity as the common bond with the US to persuade the US to join Britain in WWII. Not long after, Pearl Harbor occurred and we were Allies. Think of this hymn in the context of WWII and of what Churchill was facing at the time of his appeal to us.This is a wonderful version of the hymn. I keep replaying it, too

[@Codm-br-meme-channel]

I am blessed by this song, Praise to God

[@robert28r]

This is beautiful! Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle.

[@pologuy99gaming63]

amen.!

[@joeljohn5305]

It's actually: "Lord of hosts his name, from age to age the same."

[@chadkonieczny]

Clearly, you mean that you don't like where how they interpreted this song... there clearly IS a crescendo; just not where you would like it. No two musicians would do things exactly the same, that is the beauty of music. I'm glad to see that the great hymns of the faith are being appreciated, taught and used to praise our amazing God in the next generation! Life is difficult and I am so glad to serve a God who truly is a Mighty Fortress a Strong Tower to whom we can run in times of trouble!

[@mullerj143]

This song means a lot to me, my faith, the good lutheran church i was raised in, its nostalgic.

[@jonathanhonerbrink9886]

This is my moms favorite song. What a great rendition. Martin Luther would be proud....

[@YvonneMa]

A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And armed with cruel hate, And on earth is not his equal. Wow.... Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing: You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; The Lord of whole's His Name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. Wow.... And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. Wow... Almighty fortress is our God His Kingdom is forever. Almighty fortress is our God His Kingdom is forever. Almighty fortress is our God His Kingdom is forever. Almighty fortress is our God His Kingdom is forever. His Kingdom is forever. His Kingdom is forever. His Kingdom is forever. His Kingdom is forever. If we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing.

[@stephenport4896]

Seconding this!

[@steve1reg]

Really great version of a nearly 500 year old song. These singers all look sincere and earnest. The vocals are spot on and the song really rocks! I'm not much for most Christian Contemporary music but this is a good video. Also, the Catholic Church does use this song in some hymnals. It might not agree with Martin Luther but if a religious song does not contradict Catholic teaching, it can be used.

[@dirkaschmidt]

Very good and rhythmic modern version of the Protestant hymn from Martin Luther. The good news of Jesus must go with the modern times Thank you very much!

[@normanmcintosh396]

[@cecilem8732]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for reminding us that one of the characteristics of God is Lord Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts. HE leads the way & has a Host of Angels battling on our behalf. Every battle is The LORD’S, but we must stay in Faith, Speak HIS word, be obedient, and keep our eyes on HIM. HE HAS NEVER LOST A BATTLE!

[@johnfrederick8111]

Hi Grant, I loved all you did. You are super talented. I just wish the song contained what I believe to be the most powerful words of the song - words to die to. If you can imagine singing the national anthem without getting to the words "land of the free and home of the brave" you can imagine my frustration that such a great sounding song would not include those lyrics. Keep going and press on precious brother and know I am on your side and will pray for you and your ministry. God bless.

[@coffeeNcream44]

Yes!!! Knowing His kingdom is forever is my joy!!

[@Substrate2]

I understand this may seem odd, but two things that would make this better. A mighty fortress is our guide, instead of God, and our helper He amid the flied, instead of flood. Never grin while you sing a hymn, again I know this may seem odd, but sing "angry" especially this hymn. I know you believe in Jesus, you perform the hymn, but you have not become the hymn, quite yet. Be the hymn. Sing from "anger." Righteous anger. This hymn has to be ingested. Ingest the words. Other than that I've listened to it fifty times probably. Love it. I especially love the black guy singing back up and glasses on the guitar. Great work.
