People rise and get their fame, wealth and acclaim
By the work of others who haven’t a name
But who can take a tired person and build him up until he stands?
The one whose power and name is his alone, you

You have made me strong
You didn’t have to make a name for yourself
You have nothing to prove when you take and make me strong
You take and make me strong

So I am glad to be brought low and confess what I know:
Based on my actions I just need some approval
And I heard you speaking over me “I have accepted you completely”
Now I feel like I could take on anything because of you

You have opposed the proud
Have mercy on me
You take what’s thrown away
You make foolish what’s wisdom to man and fortify what’s falling apart

You take this tired person and build me up until I stand
Oh and I’m yours alone
