  • Strong, try 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've 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, strong

    I'm strong when I've 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
    Oh, You make me strong
    Oh, this world ain't gonna break me
    'Cause I know the one who makes me strong Writer/s: Anne Wilson, Jeff Pardo, Matthew West
