"Strong Enough"

This is such a great song and such a good reminder of a powerful piece of scripture in Phillipians 4:13 that says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." It is relevant at any point in time...whether it's right after a devastating diagnosis or in the midst of everyday routines. The strength that comes from the Lord can be as consistent as we allow it to be...seeking Him in all things, big or small, exciting or boring, heartbreaking or joyful. For me, I think it's realizing that my mundane is important to the Lord and that it requires as much dependence on His strength because I am always at risk of feeling incapable, inadequate, weak and broken.

MATTHEW WEST - "STRONG ENOUGH"

You must, 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
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 strong 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
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, strong enough, strong enough
