♫ 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
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
       C                                    G
Thank God you're good at picking me up off the ground
     F
The world's gonna try to break me

But I know the one who makes me

       Am
I'm strong when I got nothing

I'm strong even when I'm weak
             C
'Cause the strong arms of my Savior
     F
Are holding on to me

  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
