We Are Not As Strong As We Think We Are

Well, it took the hand of God Almighty

To part the waters of 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

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 their 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

But 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 of 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
