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 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

Oh, You make me strong

Oh, this world ain't gonna break me

'Cause I know the one who makes me

Strong
