Strong Enough by Matthew West

After the week I've had this song sums up what I'm feeling the best!

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

I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong 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

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

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

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

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

Oh, yeah

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough

  1. I like that song! I also love the new song, Courageous.
    We were made to be courageous
    We were made to lead the way
    We could be the generation
    That finally breaks the chains
    We were made to be courageous
    We were made to be courageous

    We were warriors on the frontlines
    Standing unafraid
    But now we’re watchers on the sidelines
    While our families slip away
    Where are you, men of courage
    You were made for so much more
    Let the pounding of our hearts cry
    “We will serve the Lord”

    We were made to be courageous
    And we’re taking back the fight
    We were made to be courageous
    And it starts with us tonight
    The only way we’ll ever stand
    Is on our knees with lifted hands
    Make us courageous
    Lord, make us courageous

    This is our resolution
    Our answer to the call
    We will love our wives and children
    We refuse to let them fall
    We will reignite the passion that we bury deep inside
    May the watchers become warriors
    Let the men of God arise

    Seek justice, love mercy
    Walk humbly with your God
    In the war of the mind I will make my stand
    In the battle of the heart and the battle of the hand

  2. Dominique - I love that song too!
    Dee - I felt these words have summed up my entire difficulties in nursing school this semester. Very good song!

  4. I feel this will be my song this semester. I'm very nervous I won't make it......but I'm trusting Him.
