Stronger Than I Know…
When we first met, it was love at first site…
It’s what I didn’t know from the beginning…
That has made me Stronger Than I Know…
Secrets kept hidden even on our wedding day…
You came clean immediately after we…
Said our “I Do’s”
I forgave you, said it was “no big deal” but
What I have learned over the years…
It was a BIG deal…
If you could keep a secret like that on our
Wedding day, what else where you hiding?
I soon found out…
You had a temper like no other, you said
It’s because I love you….REALLY?
Your temper is what has made me…
Stronger Than I Know…
I lost my kids, friends and family over YOU…
I have learned that I will NEVER again choose a man
over my kids, friends and family…
I am Stronger Than I Know…
You kept me away from my faith…
You told me I could not have single friends…
You would encourage me to do things I was
Not comfortable with…pushing my boundaries…
If I said “no,” a fight would start…I just started
Giving in to “Keep the Peace”
In keeping the peace, there was a price to pay…
I lost myself, my confidence, I withdrew…
From everyone that TRULY loved ME…
Because of YOU….
I am Stronger Than I Know

The song ” Strong Enough” has been running non-stop the past few days…
“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 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
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 strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t you cover me
Lord right now I’m asking you to be
Strong enough
