Lift up your heart with the song “God is Our Fortress”

Good music can make human beings better. Overcoming language barriers, it translates the message of Divine Love into a universal melody for the most diverse of people. This is what the song “God is Our Fortress” by composer Paiva Netto, found in the Oratorio O Mistério de Deus Revelado* [The Mystery of God Revealed], seeks to transmit.

For this and other musical compositions of the Oratorio, the composer carefully selected passages from the Gospel and the Apocalypse of Jesus, which were recited by him and sung by the choir. He also sought to create sounds that represent the dialogue between Heaven and Earth, between the creature and the Creator.
