I Didn’t Know My Own Strength Lyrics by Whitney Houston (Live from The Oprah Winfrey Show)
Mmm, yeah
Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me
I thought I’d never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to
I, I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength
Found hope in my heart
I found the light to life my way out of the dark
Found all that I need, here inside of me, oh
I thought I’d never find my way
I thought I’d never lift that weight
I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength
There were so many times I wondered
How I’d get through the night
I thought I took all that I could take
I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
Oh, I didn’t know my own strength
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, I hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength
I was not built to break, no, no
I got to know my own strength
