No razor’s edge has touched my head.
I couldn’t be bound by chains or whips
Until the day my heart gave way
And I laid my head upon her hips.
They took my eyes, they bound my wrists,
Made me dance at my captor’s feast.
My strength once tore a lion, stopped a thousand men,
Now cannot rescue me.
I'm tired of always trying to act so strong.
I'm dragging unsteady feet to carry on.
Hope placed on my aching back will break before long,
So remind me what to place my hope on.
Oh God, You once gave me strength.
May I ask for help again?
Let me do what You have called me to,
Show Your strength through these weak hands
I'm tired of always trying to act so strong.
I'm dragging unsteady feet to carry on.
Hope placed on my aching back will break before long,
So remind me what to place my hope on.
This strength is not mine.
I traded the yoke of sin for a load that's kind.
This strength is not mine.
I am but failing flesh testifying might.
This strength, This strength is not mine.
