A Heavenly Fortress

Isaiah 26:1-4

A strong city with fortified infrastructure,
As salvation from God through scripture;
Faith strengthens the walls of the city,
Gates made of gold that really look pretty;
Open the gates so the righteous enter in,
That holds the truth and is free from sin;
With a heart kept within a perfect peace,
And a steadfast mind filled with expertise;
All because of the trust built on the Lord,
An everlasting strength, faith is assured.
Always in God we have a mighty fortress,
A strength not failing in our faithfulness;
A bulwark that surrounds for to protect,
From evil forces attempting to insurrect;
As the city inside structured in every way,
For the perfect harmony in living each day;
Golden gates open only for the righteous,
For their reward God will be sure to bless;
No chaotic confusion be found in Heaven,
The only place for to go after I have risen.
