Hoping with each new day
I'm moving forward, I push the fear away
And I let go
‘Cause I’m so through with barely hanging on
Leaving what’s in the past behind
I come closer to crossing over the line
And I won’t stop
Until I get what I’ve been fighting for
You’ve said it all before

Tell me again that I am strong
Tell me again that I won't fall
I need You here to fix me where I’m wrong
Take me beyond what I can see
Break me, make me believe
You have made me all I need to be

Knowing all that I can do is be open when You start to move
In my heart
And now my God, I finally hear Your voice
You’ve said it all before

Who I am is all I’ve got
And I can’t be who I am not anymore

(I am strong, make me believe)
You have made me all I need to be
(I am strong, make me believe, make me believe)

Behind the Song:
“Here in America, where we have this entrepreneurial spirit, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, we get a lot of our identity from our job and what other people are saying about us. A lot of times, it seems like our identity is what everyone else says about us and what we can do, then that equals how we feel about ourselves. But unfortunately, especially during times of recession, you can lose your job at any time. There may be times when it seems everyone doesn't like you or they don't agree with what you're doing. And in those times, we seem to bottom out and we feel like we're worthless. We say that we believe that God is the one who made us and He's the one who brings identity to our lives, but when the rubber hits the road, we find out what we truly think. What we really need to understand is that we are of great value, and it's not because of what we've accomplished or done, but it's because God is the one who created us and He does a great job with whatever He does.” ~ Dawn Michele (Fireflight)
