Strength to Be Weak

I could tell the whole world I'm a good girl
And pretend to be noble and strong
I could mellow their moods with my music
And win all of their love with my songs

But I want to do more than play music
And just get up and give a good show
I want people to see
That You are working in me
And that You're worth getting to know

So give me the strength
Lord, won't You give me the strength
Give me the strength to be weak
Maybe others will see
You're working in me
So give me the strength to bе weak

And I could tell all the funniеst stories
And make them feel so right at ease
I could play rock and roll
Or a song with some soul
Until all of the people are pleased

But what the world needs to see
Are real people
Not afraid to face what is true
And as our struggles unfold
And our story is told
We discover our need for You

So give me the strength
Lord, won't You give me the strength
Give me the strength to be weak
Maybe others will see
You're working in me
So give me the strength to be weak

Most people hide from their weakness
And pretend they just never do wrong
But I'm beginning to see
As You are working in me
When I'm weak then You are strong
You are strong

So give me the strength
Lord, won't You give me the strength
Give me the strength to be weak
Maybe others will see
You're working in me
So give me the strength to be weak
Give me the strength to be weak
