Strong Enough

12 April 2011

Last week was probably one of the hardest I've experienced in my life.  To be rejected by not one, but two children we considered our own for 9 months, was very, very hard.  It felt like we were letting a whole lot of people down who stood beside in this adoption either financially or through prayer.   I also was left with a lot of questions: Why did this happen?  What do we do now?  Are we supposed to try again for another boy?  Where is all this extra money going to come from?  What about our girls back home?......Through it all this song really helped encourage me to rely on God for our strength.  If you have a chance, I'd encourage you to listen to this song. 


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 stong 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 stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
