Derek Webb: 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
He 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

Oh, 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
It was gonna make the mountains move
And I tremble like a hill on a fault line
At the thought of how I lost You

We are not as strong as we think we are

Oh, 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

Oh, and if you make me laugh
Oh I know I could make you like me
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
But when 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

See, 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

See, when you love you walk on the water
Just don't stumble on the waves
We all want to go there something awful
But to stand there it takes some grace

We are not as strong as we think we are
No, we are not as strong as we think we are
