[Verse 1]

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
G F
A weary soul with a worn out heart that's barely beating

I hit my knees with my hands held high

Saying, "Dear Lord, Jesus, you know I can't do this on my own
F
I can't do this on my own"
C
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
Dm7
But I know the one who makes me
C F
Strong

Strong, like my daddy always told me so

There's a place you can always go when you got nothing
F
And then he handed me the one thing
C
That's strong, doesn't matter how old it gets
G F
There's power in the words in red in this old Bible
Dm7
And when I'm desperate for revival
[Chorus]

I hit my knees with my hands held high
