(Intro.)

(Verse 1)
(D)Strong, trying to make 'em all think I’m strong
Yeah, the face I keep (A)putting (G)on says I ain't tired
But these (G)tear-stained eyes ain't lying
’Cause (D)hard, nobody told me life could be so hard
A weary soul with a (A)worn out (G)heart that's barely beating
But every (Em)time I get that feeling
 
(Chorus)
I (D)hit my knees with my hands held high
Saying, (D)"Dear Lord, Jesus, you know (A)I can't (G)do this on my own
I can't (G)do this on my own"
Lord (D)knows I've tried but I'm good at falling down
Thank (D)God you're good at picking me up off the (A)ground
The (G)world's gonna try to break me
But I (Em)know the one who makes me
(D)Strong / / / |(D) / / (G)|
 
(Verse 2)
(D)Strong, like my daddy always told me so
There’s a place you can (A)always (G)go when you got nothing
And then he (G)handed me the one thing
That’s (D)strong, doesn't matter how old it gets
There’s power in the (A)words in (G)red in this old Bible
And when I'm (Em)desperate for revival
 
(Chorus)
I (D)hit my knees with my hands held high
Saying, (D)"Dear Lord, Jesus, you know (A)I can't (G)do this on my own
I can't (G)do this on my own"
Lord (D)knows I’ve tried but I'm good at falling down
Thank (D)God you're good at picking me up off the (A)ground
The (G)world's gonna try to break me
But I (Em)know the one who makes me
(D)Strong, oh-oh, (A) (G)strong
 
(Bridge)
I'm (Bm)strong when I got nothing
I'm (A)strong even when I'm weak
'Cause the (D)strong arms of my Savior
Are (G)holding on to me
 
(Chorus)
I (D)hit my knees with my hands held high
Saying, "(D)Dear Lord, Jesus, you know (A)I can't (G)do this on my own
I can't (G)do this on my own"
Lord (D)knows I've tried but I'm good at falling down
Thank (D)God you're good at picking me up off the (A)ground
The (G)world's gonna try to break me
But I (Em)know the one who makes me
(D)Strong / / / |(D) / 
But You (A)make me (G)strong / / / |(G) / /
 
(Outro.)
Oh, this (Em)world ain't gonna break me
'Cause I (G)know the one who makes me (D)strong - - - - -
