A Mighty Fortress* is my favorite hymn ever. Period.

Can't hear it without getting goosebumps.
==========================

Oh, I agree! And I get a thump in my throat when I hear "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" from Handel's Messiah.

*I've heard that more than a few churchs wouldn't (won't?)allow this to be say, saying it was to "militartistic". True or no? Frankly, at this point in time nothing would surprise me.

I attend a church that sings only Psalms (you hymn-singers need to try it out...it really is something else and God commands us to sing his Word). Anyway, but I have to say, I love A Mighty Fortress. Such power and word imagery.

But, in corporate worship, it still is uninspired and I want to give God the best, only what is inspired.

But boy, I do enjoy hearing it on a CD or something.
