Matthew West's song 'Strong Enough' is a Christian ballad about human weakness and dependence on God's strength. The lyrics express the singer's admission that he cannot handle life's challenges on his own and his decision to surrender his struggles to God. The song emphasizes that when we reach the end of our own ability, we can rely on Christ's power to sustain us. It references the biblical idea that God's strength is made perfect in weakness, echoing Philippians 4:13. The message is one of humility, trust, and finding peace in letting go of self-sufficiency.

You must

You must think I'm strong

To give me what I'm going through


Well, forgive me

Forgive me if I'm wrong

But this looks like more than I can do

On my own


I know I'm not strong enough to be

everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up

I'm not strong enough

Hands of mercy won't you cover me

Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough

Strong enough

For the both of us


Well, maybe

Maybe that's the point

To reach the point of giving up


Cause when I'm finally

Finally at rock bottom

Well, that's when I start looking up

And reaching out


I know I'm not strong enough to be

Everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up

I'm not strong enough

Hands of mercy won't you cover me

Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough

Strong enough


Cause I'm broken

Down to nothing

But I'm still holding on to the one thing

You are God

and you are strong

When I am weak


I can do all things

Through Christ who gives me strength

And I don't have to be

Strong enough

Strong enough


I can do all things

Through Christ who gives me strength

And I don't have to be

Strong enough

Strong enough


Oh, yeah


I know I'm not strong enough to be

Everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up

I'm not strong enough

Hands of mercy won't you cover me

Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough

Strong enough

Strong enough
