Subject: Lyr Add: THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU STRONG (Winchester)
Not a new one but this song of Jesse Winchester's is one of my favorites. Anyone who can sum up truths like this is somebody I would like to know. Unless I'd find myself totally intimidated- but I don't think so. This writer is a person who has done some thinking and learning, and loving.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU STRONG
Jesse Winchester

If you love somebody
Then that means you need somebody
And if you need somebody
That's what make you weak
If you know you're weak
Then you know you need someone
Oh, it's a funny thing but
That's what make you strong…….

That's what make you strong
That's what gives you power
That's what lets the meek come sit beside the King
That's what lets us smile in our final hour
That's what moves our souls and
That's what makes us sing

And to trust somebody
Is to be disappointed
It's never what you wanted
And it happens every time
But if you're the trusting kind
This don't even cross your mind
And Oh it's a funny thing but
That's what make you strong……

That's what make you strong
That's what gives you power
That's what lets the meek come sit beside the King
That's what lets us smile in our final hour
That's what moves our souls and
That's what makes us sing
