Lyrics Whitney Houston - I Didn't Know My Own Strength

I Didn't Know My Own Strength
Original lyrics by Whitney Houston

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, 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
