Rich Mullins - We Are Not As Strong As We Think We Are Lyrics

Well, it took the hand of God Almighty To part the waters in the sea But it only took one little lie To separate you and me

Oh, we are not as strong As we think we are

And they say that one day Joshua He made the sun stand still in the sky But I can't even keep These thoughts of you from passing by

Oh, we are not as strong As we think we are

We are frail We are fearfully And wonderfully made

Forged in the fires Of human passion Choking on the fumes Of selfish rage

And with these our hells and our heavens So few inches apart We must be awfully small And not as strong as we think we are

And the Master said that faith was Gonna make them mountains move But me I tremble like a hill on a fault line Just at the thought of how I lost You

Oh, we are not as strong As we think we are

We are frail We are fearfully And wonderfully made

Forged in the fires Of human passion Choking on the fumes Of selfish rage

And with these our hells and our heavens So few inches apart We must be awfully small And not as strong as we think we are

And if you make me laugh I know I could make you like me 'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun

Well, we can't do that I know that it is frightening What I don't know is Why we can't hold on We can't hold on

It took the hand of God Almighty To part the waters in the sea But it only took one little lie To separate you and me

Oh, we are not as strong As we think we are

When you love you walk on the water Just don't stumble on the waves We all want to go there somethin' awful But to stand there it takes some grace

'Cause oh, we are not as strong As we think we are

No, we are not as strong As we think we are

Walk on the water Walk on the water If we could just hold on Just hold on
