Not as strong

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.

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.

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.

(Rich Mullins)
