The Strongest Boundary
Lyric

Verse 1
I used to force my voice to fit inside each and every room
Shrinking down my truth so it held its proper space
I’d spin myself in circles just to prove
I wasn’t something to be replaced
But every time I tried to explain or make others see
I'd lose just more of being who I am meant to be
That's when God would gently point out all the reasons I am that I am
And I don’t need to justify His plan
Chorus
The strongest boundary you can have is standing in your truth
Not explaining every heartbeat ... or oversharing every thought you feel
It's not begging for a place in someone else's room
It's not asking them to tell you that your faith is real
You just breathe in the quiet God has made
Trusting what He planted deep inside your soul
The strongest boundary is learning not to let yourself fade
And embracing God's own truth to be all that you hold
Verse 2
I used to chase approval like a moth is attracted to the flame
Thinking someone else's truth could guide and light my way
I’d offer up excuses for my thoughts, my soul, my name
Hoping doing this would let my soul feel safe
But God kept whispering “Girl, You’re mine, just keep still
You don’t need their validation to know your faith is real"
Listen closely to Him and you too will find and feel
The place where your heart and soul can finally heal
Chorus
The strongest boundary you can have is standing in your truth
Not explaining every heartbeat ... or oversharing every thought you feel
It's not begging for a place in someone else's room
It's not asking them to tell you that your faith is real
You just breathe in the quiet God has made
Trusting what He planted deep inside your soul
The strongest boundary is learning not to let yourself fade
And embracing God's own truth to be all that you hold
Bridge
I don’t owe the world a reason for my breath
I don’t owe anyone proof of who I truly am
God already wrote His promise in love and blood upon my chest
And I will rise inside the strength of knowing that
Final Chorus
The strongest boundary you can have is standing in your truth
Not explaining every heartbeat ... or oversharing every thought you feel
It's not begging for a place in someone else's room
It's not asking them to tell you that your faith is real
You just breathe in the quiet God has made
Trusting what He planted deep inside your soul
The strongest boundary is learning not to let yourself fade
And embracing God's own truth to be all that you hold
The strongest boundary I must hold
Oh yes, the strongest boundary i can hold
