Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the Stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
He will keep me safe
He will shelter me inside the secret place
Set me high upon the rock
High upon the Rock
The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the Stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
He's my Stronghold
He's my Stronghold
Lord You're my rock
You're my fortress
For in the day of trouble
He will keep me safe
He will shelter me inside the secret place
Set me high upon the rock
High upon the Rock
The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the Stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
He's my Stronghold
He's my Stronghold

The lyrics of Rich Gomez's song "Stronghold" are a powerful testament of faith in the Lord, expressing trust and hope in His protection and guidance. The song starts by declaring that the Lord is the light and salvation of the singer, leading to the question of who could be feared in His presence. The Lord is then described as a stronghold, a place of safety and protection, instilling confidence in the singer's spirit.
The second verse reinforces this message of trust in the Lord's strength, especially during times of trouble. The Lord is portrayed as a shelter, a secret place where the singer can find refuge and comfort. The image of being set high upon the rock adds to the sense of security and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The chorus repeats the assertions of the Lord's light, salvation, and stronghold, with the added emphasis on 'my' for added personal connection and ownership.
The bridge brings it all together, calling the Lord a rock and fortress, and repeating the lyrics of the second verse. The song concludes with repetition of the chorus and the title of the song, 'Stronghold,' a fitting summary for this powerful anthem of faith.
