You're shaken up 
You're breaking down with the weight of problems 
You're all but lost 
Hope can't be found in the place your heart is 
So bewildered and confused 
You've done all that you can do 

CHORUS: 
We rely upon ourselves 
Until we're standing on the brink 
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just give up 
When you don't have the strength 

There's someplace warm 
Although the storm may rage around you 
Hope knows no end 
If you begin with a God who loves you 
There's a reservoir of grace 
Out upon the sea of faith 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 
We can't, He can 
So lay it all on mercy's table 
'Cause when it's more than you can bear alone 
He is able 

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just give up 
When you don't have the strength 
His love is strong enough 
When you don't have the strength
