Strong, trying to make ´em all think I´m strong Yeah, the face I keep putting on says I ain´t tired But these tear-stained eyes ain´t lying ´Cause hard, nobody told me life could be so hard
A weary soul with a worn out heart that´s barely beating But every time I get that feeling
I hit my knees with my hands held high Saying, "Dear Lord, Jesus, you know I can´t do this on my own I can´t do this on my own" Lord knows I´ve tried but I´m good at falling down Thank God you´re good at picking me up off the ground The world´s gonna try to break me But I know the one who makes me Strong
Strong, like my daddy always told me so There´s a place you can always go when you got nothing
And then he handed me the one thing That´s strong, doesn´t matter how old it gets There´s power in the words in red in this old Bible And when I´m desperate for revival
I hit my knees with my hands held high Saying, "Dear Lord, Jesus, you know I can´t do this on my own I can´t do this on my own" Lord knows I´ve tried but I´m good at falling down Thank God you´re good at picking me up off the ground The world´s gonna try to break me But I know the one who makes me Strong Oh-oh, strong
I´m strong when I got nothing I´m strong even when I´m weak ´Cause the strong arms of my Savior Are holding on to me
I hit my knees with my hands held high Saying, "Dear Lord, Jesus, you know I can´t do this on my own I can´t do this on my own" Lord knows I´ve tried but I´m good at falling down Thank God you´re good at picking me up off the ground The world´s gonna try to break me But I know the one who makes me Strong But You make me strong
Oh, this world ain´t gonna break me ´Cause I know the one who makes me Strong
