We Are Not As Strong
As We Think We Are 

By Rich Mullins 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 fright'ning 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 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.
