We Are Not As Strong As We Think We Are
Psalm 139:13-16
[F2 / / / /][ / / / / ][C / / / /]
Verse 1:
[F/C / / G/C/ It took the hanCd of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it oCnly took one little lie
Cmaj7/E
To separate you and me
Oh, we are nFot as strong as we thiCnk we are
Verse 2:
F/C G/C And they saCy that one day Joshua
Made the sun stand still in the skC2y
But IC can't even keep these thoughts of yoC/Eu from passing by
Oh, we are Fmaj7 not as strong F
Fmaj7 F As we thinC/Gk we are
Chorus:
G C/G We are frGail, we are fearfully and wFonderfully madCe
Forged in the fires G of human passion
Choking on the fuFmes of selfish ragCe
And with tG/Bhese our hAmells and our heavens
So few iFmaj7nches apart
F We must be C/Eaw- fDmlly small,
And not as strong as we Gsusthink we are G
Verse 3:
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
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Dm And if you make me laugh,
I know Gsus I could make you like me
C2(no3) C2/E F2
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
Dm But when we can't do that I know Gsus that it is fright'ning
C2(no3) C2/E
What I don't know is why we can't hold on,
Am2 We can't hGold on.
Repeat Verse 1:
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
Verse 4:
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
G C/G No, we are nFot as strong
Fmaj7 F As we thinCk we are.
