"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"

Lost touch with my soul

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to go

Lost sight of my dream

Thought it would be the end of me

I, I thought I'd never make it through

I had no hope to hold on to

I, I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down

And I tumbled

But I did not crumble

I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength

Survived my darkest hour

My faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up

Hold my head up high

I was not built to break

I didn't know my own strength

Found hope in my heart

I found the light to life

My way out of the dark

Found all that I need

Here inside of me

I thought I'd never find my way

I thought I'd never lift that weight

I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down

And I tumbled

But I did not crumble

I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength

Survived my darkest hour

My faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up

Hold my head up high

I was not built to break

I didn't know my own strength

There were so many times I

Wondered how I'd get through the night, I

Thought I took all that I could take

Didn't know my strength

And I crashed down

And I tumbled

But I did not crumble

I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength

My faith kept me alive

I pick myself back up

I hold my head up high

I was not built to break

I didn't know my own strength

I was not built to break, no, no

I got to know my own strength
