A Mighty Fortress by Steve Green 

The first time I heard Brother Green sing this was back in the 90s; it doubled me over and I wept heartily... I’m wise enough to listen and watch it only when I’m alone because it still renders me powerless and reduces me to tears.

This performance never fails to stop me in my tracks. God is great. Jesus is King. His word is true.

In my opinion, Steve sings this song as the author would have intended: Strong and powerful. His delivery matches the power of the words. I like the elevation as the song progresses.

Steve Green, Michael Card, Wayne Watson and Twila Paris ministered at a "Classic Christian Concert" in May of 2012 in Fayetteville, NC. Marty and I were there and enjoyed it immensely. Steve was the last artist and ended his portion with this song. And yes, people rose to worship God and appreciate Steve's delivery. A Mighty Fortress IS our God!

I'm 40 and I find myself going back to this particular version. What a heart behind the delivery!

Don't know anything about this guy, but this is a MIGHTY song and performed here beautifully and with great conviction. This world needs more of this !

In 1989 our daughter and soon our son brought this album to us in South Africa. I thank God for your encouragement and your ministry.

I've had the awesome experience of singing back-up for this man... He is truly a singer of great and moral character blessed to sing to God! Very, very humble guy.

In tears!!! NO ONE sings like this anymore!! His power and passion....God given! I'm 22 but still LOVE Steve Green!!

Profound, stirring lyrics. They were true 500 years ago when composed, true today and true forever.

Hearing this version is Amazing!I heard it twice in concert and it will send chills up and down your spine a couple of times. Never heard it sung so powerfully since.

The Christian's victory over Satan and sin is so powerfully demonstrated in this song!

I don't know if I've ever heard anything this beautiful!

This s my favorite hymn, too. And, this is my favorite version of it. This is just astounding. Steve's passion and anointing are breathtaking. He is my absolute favorite. Praise the Name of Jesus -- A Mighty Fortress is our God!!!

The "romantic Christian contemporary worship" is light years far away from the powerful declaration of biblical truths that can make the earth Tremble like this hymn! Hymns that are rich in real theology about the real attributes of God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit that literally brake you into pieces. God is looking for true worshipers that worship in spirit and in true! Sing what you know about God not about your feelings or the sensations you are getting out of the mysticism through music like many "Christian bands" now are playing creating some kind of mystic atmosphere emphasizing music to get your attention and to fill buildings with people.

The most remarkable rendition of this hymn ever made!

This song is in my spirit, train up a child, I heard this hymn as a child never left, music imprints itself to our soul and spirit, so share with a child and kids today!

Ohh how I love this hymn and Steve Green singing it. The doctrines of grace recited so beautifully.

“The Lord has said to me in the strongest terms: ‘Do not think like everyone else does. Do not be afraid that some plan conceived behind closed doors will be the end of you. Do not fear anything except the Lord Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else. He will keep you safe.” (Isaiah 8:11-14 NLT)

I have long loved to listen to his beautiful, classically trained voice, but this is the first time I have ever seen him sing. Amazing! It’s an even more powerful experience.

We need music like this. There is a place for soft and gentle music, but we also need music that rings with conviction and might.

A great hymn sung by a great singer. The way he enunciates the words and gives feeling to them. The man is an artiste.

This is by far the most beautiful interpretayion of this hymn I have ever heard. It is profoundly moving.

I love the way he takes the key signature higher and intensifies the impact of each verse.

YES, YES, YES!!! That is the power of the anointing. Glory to God. Amazing

This is my fav. hymn and he sings it to the high heavens!!!! Just great!

I keep coming back to this. God is awesome!

Ohhhhh.....I remember hearing him in person. My soul lifted from the voice, the voice that God gave to him. The so called “worship” songs can not reach the soul because there is no theology in them. I believe there will be singing and glorifying our Father in heaven like this. As worship is a preparation for God to prepare our hearts. There’s way to much talk before services, getting up during the service to get more coffee. I’m so sorry that churches have done this. I only play hymns. They speak to me, to my spirit, the Holy Spirit gives goose bumps. I miss your music Steve. Thank you for allowing God to use your voice to bring me back to how AWESOME my God is.

I love the way he sings it!! :)

The Battle Hymn of the Reformation SOLI DEO GLORIA!!!!!!!

Wow, He sounds go good I did not even notice no music instruments in the back ground until 3 minutes into him singing.

i never tire to listening to Steve Green praise the Lord! thank you, Jesus!

It’s so cool to stop and think about how God gifted a writer and then a singer years later to help us worship and marvel at God’s character

His version is so Powerful. My mother is passing soon. This was her father's favorite hymn ( and mine). It reminds me to rejoice in the Lord when hope seems far away.

oh i forgot to mention, look at his posture. standing straigt up, and when he reaches high notes not effort at all! there is not knee bending or anything like that.... it all about the breath control, what a singer! Truly a gift from the lord!

This is my favorite hymn also....Steve Green is so blessed with his voice, giving all the honor and glory to God.....I am a Baptist...a Christian.....last I knew, Lutherans are Christians too....my Daddy was a Lutheran and he WAS A CHRISTIAN

The Truth and nothing but The truth Awesome song!!!!

Thats the most amazing thing I have ever heard. There is no vocalist on the planet who could do that as well as Steve did back in the day.

So much Biblical truth is in this hymnal

Wow tears in my eyes and all I can say is glory to GOD.

The Reformation is 500 years old this month. Luther would be so proud of Steve!

Finally a version of this song that is perfect in tempo its hard to find that anymore.

I agree... I thank our God for singers like Steve because they sing with the strength of the caracter of God, who is MIGHTY AND FIRM in his WORD and ACTS. Praise the Lord!! :)

I love all songs that praise my LORD and savior JESUS CHRIST and am familiar with this song which makes it one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen,no music and he looks like he's preaching, definitely believes what he is singing,brought tears to my eyes as well as goosebumps, very blessed to have seen this.all the praise ,honor and glory goes to JESUS CHRIST! Thank you for saving me.....

I think this is my favorite performance of any hymn.

On this Easter wkend this song is a powerful reminder of our kings endless power and beautiful sacrifice for all his children. Steve Green voice is strong as a mountain also..

I have seen Steve Green many times in concert. I also remember him being in The Gaither Vocal Band when they first started out. This is excellent.

I love this song sung in a capella. I saw him perform this at America's Keswick, Colony of Mercy in 2001. It still brings me to humble tears.

Steve Green will always be one of my all-time favorites. And this particular old hymn is one of my favorites of his. I remember during an interview he said some doctors wanted to put a tiny surgical camera down his throat and watch his vocal chords as he sang because he had such a rich, pure voice. Little did he know they would ask him to sing . . . "A Mighty Fortress" . . . I pray God will continue to bless Steve so he can continue to powerfully minister God's Grace and Majesty!

This has always been my favorite hymn; I want it performed at my funeral. It was a pleasure to hear "A Mighty Fortress" sung by such a powerful and talented artist. Thanks!

A funeral dirge compared to other songs and hymns; yet, is saturated with the most surprisingly uplifting message of any I've heard. This is my father's favorite hymn. Truly touching and timeless.

Amazing voice. This hymn is one of my favourites. Again amazing voice

11 times in a row. Soul shaking!!!

LOVE IT SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!! BEAUTIFULLY SANG BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL WORDS!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 HALLELUJAH!!

speechless!!! Mighty voice - Mighty God! Jehovah Sabaoth!!!

We were singing this song in Wittenberg 3 months ago. Awesome melody, awesome lyrics

Awesome! God's might and power is awesome. Mr. Green nailed this one! Bravo!

Amen! Christ is our Mighty Fortress! In HIM we are more than corquerors! In HIM we can win the sin, and in Him we are make "partaker of the Divine nature"...

I've listened to ths several times and still get chills.

You're right about the standing ovation - he gets one every time I play it!

Just came across this and WOW, so powerful and such a bold beautiful voice

Classic hymn, beautifully sung and rendered. Brilliant singing by Steve Green.Thanks so much!!

Wow. Great rendition.

breath taking. and most wonderful. thanks ever so much for uploading this fine hymn. truly the anthem of the reformation. ******

We sang this in the Kingdome in Seattle at a promise keepers rally,it shook the dome.

Wow--Love it! Thanks. I am amazed at such a fine voice(and with no accompianment). Yes!And the words are so comforting. What a great singer singing a great song!

I love this hymn. SOLI DEO GLORIA.

Amazing!!!!!! :) To God be the glory! Powerful!

Classic hymn...well rendered and speaks Truth to encourage the faithful. Steve Green all the way!

I'm torn when I watch this video! My favorite hymn, done EXACTLY the way it should be done, in voice and in Spirit! But...in today's worship culture i can't fathom the believers in the seats just sitting and listening quietly while Steve "performs". Yes, it is an awe-inspiring presentation, so one might say people are sitting in awestruck silence. But the WORDS! The TRUTH! The SPIRIT! I don't know how people didn't start applauding, NOT his performance but the truth being proclaimed do powerfully! i don't know how they didn't start singing along with these classic words of truth by the last verse. I don't think my body, voice or Spirit could have remained still during these moments. The very rocks were probably crying out around that stadium!

I totally agree! I thank our God for this man's singing! The puts the Lord's name high with the strength it should be because our God is mighty and firm :). Praise the Lord!

Ever faithful, never changing God!

ALWAYS COME BACK TO STEVE GREEN SINGING A MIGHTY FORTRESS---THE VOICE IS PROPELLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT--HIS SONG GIVES ME STRENGTH AGAIN AND AGAIN

wow what an incredible job Mr. Green did on this terrific hymn

Such a powerful hymn.

GLORY GLORY GLORY TO THE MOST HIGH GOD JEHOVAH. HIS TRUTH ABIDETH STILL!!

One of Luther's greatest hymns, written in his age of depression.

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, On earth is not his equal. 2 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. 3 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: The Prince 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. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever.

you know everybody talks about david phelps and his great voice, which i agree he has. but steve green is something else i believe. he proved to have one of the best non operatic voices ever ! his voice is not only beautiful, but he has so much control.. and those high notes are amazin

Wow, I believe it is the Holy Spirit in him that makes him give such a performance!!!

This is an incredible song and sang amazingly, a capella too.(Sorry if that is spelt wrongly) Steve has an absolutely incredible voice, love it.

My favorite version of my favorite hymn, which was written by Martin Luther. Steve sings with such passion and conviction that it nearly always brings tears to my eyes.

Wow - brave to do this totally unaccompanied. Fantastic hymn.

Yes, Steve proclaim the truth.

I have this concert on VHS. This song is definitely my all-time favorite Steve Green song.

Goosebumps

Perfect song selection, amazing delivery! Thanks for this great video!

Wow, what a breath-taking performance! The lyrics and his phrasing are such a story to be heard. God never ceases to amaze me with the talent he places in some for the enjoyment of all.

I've watched this probably 500 times over the past couple of years. Never gets old. Can't find where he sung it this way anywhere else. Is there a copy I can buy anywhere with good quality? Anyone know?

Wow! That's the first time I've heard him. You can tell he's singing it with all his heart. I like that. I sang this with 2 friends of mine at church about a month ago. One of my favorites.

Should have millions of views!!!

Just excellent! All praise to our Great God!

I thank God for Steve Green and this song.

Wow! Just WOW! This just gives me holy goosebumps when he sings this!

Thanks for your blessing to share this..Blessings...!!!! God bless !!!

A meaningful hymn by Dr. Martin Luther.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY. thank you

Greatest hymn ever written...

Fantastic job Steve Green. You are the greatest. GOD bless
