<strong>The</strong> first stanza is somber as it speaks about the craft and power of the mightiest created be<strong>in</strong>g on earth –Lucifer. Satan, the Pr<strong>in</strong>ce of Darkness, has <strong>in</strong>credible power and we are utterly defenseless aga<strong>in</strong>st him.He is the source of evil on this earth and he is the power beh<strong>in</strong>d the Holocaust and the World TradeCenter attacks. We are helpless before him and there is no hope. Except …A Mighty Fortress (PromiseKeepers)http://www.geocities.com/praisehymns/hymn2.htmAnd 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;<strong>The</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ce of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;His rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure,One little word shall fell him.<strong>The</strong> rema<strong>in</strong>der of this song is alive with passion and power, hope and victory. All because of that “onelittle Word.”That Word – Jesus Christ – is awesome. That Word – by the power of His Word – created the heavensand the earth. He upholds the entire creation with His Word. And He loves us. He lives <strong>in</strong> us. And Hegives us the victory.That Word is a Word that I trust because He always keeps His Word. We can face Satan and storm thegates of hell because that Word has already defeated Satan. That Word – the power of the universe – is onour side.“One little Word shall fell him.” – God! What an <strong>in</strong>credible truth! <strong>The</strong> craft and power of Satan – as greatas it is – is noth<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st “one little Word” from God Almighty. One Word. Just one Word. And Satanis defeated, destroyed.May we forever revel <strong>in</strong> the glory and majesty and power of the risen Christ. And may we foreverremember – as we enter the lion’s den, as we storm the gates of hell, as we walk through the valley of theshadow of death – that that Word goes before us. <strong>The</strong> Word who loves us and gives us victory.
