Zion’s Strength


Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
consider well her ramparts,
go through her citadels,
that you may tell the next generation
that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will guide us forever.
Psalm 48:12-14

Walk God’s city, hike His holy hill
take in Zion’s beauty and wonder if you will
at the greatness of our Lord
He has drawn His mighty sword
sworn in covenant to defend
His rescued people as their friend

Go around the walls, take in the view
consider a faithful God as you do
in covenant He will never fail
for His people He will prevail
Towers numbered filled with power
Ramparts raised each day and hour

Held in Zion’s mighty citadel
raised to withstand the fires of hell
secure by His glory and His might
no foe can approach us or affright
Our God is always at our defense
His strength and wisdom are immense

Tell it to a coming generation
that God defends His holy station
Zion stands while this world will fall
because His eternal power controls it all
by His strength we will stand
follow His almighty decree and command

Forever God is strength and song
always confident He will lead us along
Zion stands tall above rubble and stone
holiness rules over what Christ will atone
never alone in God’s towers we abide
Christ is for us… at our side
