♫ Intro:

C    G F

♫ Verse 1:
C
Strong, trying to make 'em all think I’m strong
            G   F
Yeah, the face I keep putting on says I ain't tired
      F
But these tear-stained eyes ain't lying
    C
’Cause hard, nobody told me life could be so hard
           G    F
A weary soul with a worn out heart that's barely beating
     Dm7
But every time I get that feeling

♫ Chorus:
 C
I hit my knees with my hands held high
                  G    F
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
                   G
Thank God you're good at picking me up off the ground
  F
The world's gonna try to break me
   Dm7
But I know the one who makes me
C     F
Strong

♫ Verse 2:
C
Strong, like my daddy always told me so
             G   F
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:
 C
I hit my knees with my hands held high
               G    F

I can't do this on my own"

The world's gonna try to break me

But I know the one who makes me

I'm strong when I got nothing

I'm strong even when I'm weak

'Cause the strong arms of my Savior
   F
Are holding on to me
