Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through
Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own
[Verse 2]
I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us
[Verse 3]
Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up
'Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out
[Verse 4]
I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
[Verse 5]
'Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God and you are strong
When I am weak
[Verse 6]
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
(And I don't have to be)
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
[Verse 7]
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
(And I don't have to be)
(Strong enough)
(Strong enough)
[Verse 8]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 9]
I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough
