I didn't know my own strength. I've been through everything bad marriage. I lost my son . I was sexual assaulted but I got back up and made it. Christ gave the strength. There is light at the end of tunnel. Thank God.

I’m so blessed by this song! Everytime I hear it I cry! I was molested as a teenager, I loss my only son when I was 23, loss the love of my life, survived two abusive marriages, was homeless with my two daughters, loss my mom and dad before I turned 40 and suffered with depression for 30 years. “I was not built to break” “I picked myself up” I’ve learned to love myself! I can look myself in the mirror and I love who’s looking back! My daughters are grown now. They are beautiful and flourishing! I have my own home, a great job and my dream car! Most of all I have a personal relationship with God and my life continues to get better and greater! “I didn’t know my own strength” Thank you Whitney! There is healing in this song! I miss and love you! ❤️ With God you can survive anything…all things are possible 🌈Jesus loves you! Still listening in 2023

Song still hitting me. MARCH 2024

Whitney wasn’t just singing a song, this was a testimony. I felt this deep and I wish she was still with us.

Who listen in June 2024❤

Lost my only son to gun violence 3 months ago and I'm still trying to find the strength to go on I do believe that some day I will gain strength again

Who else is listening to this in 2024? It’s going to be alright. 🥰

Timeless, I walked away from my toxic relationship of 35yrs, this song is my anthem, Bless you girl , you're missed

Lost touch with my soul I had no where to turn I had no where 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 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 the dark Found all that I need Here inside of me 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 took all 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 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 I was not built to break I got to know my own strength

“I WAS NOT BUILT TO BREAK”! 🙏🏾🙌🏾

4/29/23 listening while in tears. So much going on in my life and marriage right now. She gets me through 💔🥺

Got out of an emotionally abusive relationship, God help me through this..

I didn’t know my own strength !!! my husband had a stroke I couldn’t work the insurance wouldn’t pay he was paralyzed on his left side family turned away it was just us!!!! God brought me through it all 😢😢😢Thank you Jesus my faith kept me alive ❤️💕

I was married to a narcissist for eight years and " I didn't know my own strength". Whitney Houston is simply phenomenal,a legend. I am grateful to God ,I finally got the strength to leave him. Now, I am healing and I am beginning to enjoy the true meaning of life with my daughters.

The battle is not yours, that is why you don’t know your own strength , trust in God

That last "I was not built to break..." at the end gets me everytime. RIP Whitney.

Your body may have died, but your spirit lives through your voice and all your amazing songs. an inspiration.

Who eles is listening to this in 2024❤

This song speaks to me. I’m a strong woman. I lost my dad 2021 and favourite brother in 2022 due suspicious circumstances. I’m still standing. I’m standing for my husband. I’m standing for my children. I’m standing for my mom.❤❤❤

This song Is my testimony..just reflecting on how hard my life was i was homeless as a teenager try to send my self to school it was rough but I made it out now I'm in my own home my own bed crying from remembering all that I've been though God will do it for u trust me ...tears 🙌🙌😭

Just found out last week I have cancer, this song is my savor ,I listen to it every day until day I have surgery

There's no way my own strength would have carried me through all that I've been through...I survived because God was on my side..He definitely was the one who didn't let me break!🙌🙌🙌🙌

I loss my first son at birth 11/09/23 few days before my birthday. When you think God is doing things to you he doing them for you my heart aches 💔 im still living proof i went thru so much heart ache in my pregnancy 💔 & God still has his hands on me on day i be able to find this comment & see what God has bigger for me. Im so strong i dont give myself enough grace

Was beaten by my husband on Xmas Eve ,Xmas day he walked out the door ,not only did he abuse me he took all my money I thought I was gone break.praise to god I didn't know my own strength God is bringing me thru it all..

This isn't just a song...this is a real TESTIMONY! Still listening in 2022 #RIPWHITNEY🕊

I was created to lead God's people to victory in our lives Our storms in life were designed to draw us to God not destroy us to be victorious in every battle Stand strong in the battle because God is in the battle with you Our battles in life is the refiner's fire It purge's out everything in us that's not of God we must see our storms from God's perspective that's when you win 1:07

Someone needs to know to let go of your past…. You are still alive you made it out… now go live! Much love to everyone

Whitney houston was fighting a battle no one know about.. I miss you

This song brings tears to my eyes. I told my daughter to listen to this we as woman especially black women are very strong. You may knock us down but we will get back up.

Listening to this every day fighting my alcoholism. Im still alive and will fight to get better ! I wanted to give up and unalive myself so many times but im still here and I wont give up. I will hold my head up high and pray to God

My mother passed away last year and I always listen to this song for comfort.

This is a testimonial for me. I lost my son 💔 May 31st, 2020. I thought my life was over but my son appeared to me in a dream and said " mommy u got this". Every time I hear this song I think of how the Lord has helped me through this transition. I may have stumbled but I never crumbled.

Whitney and Michael jackson will forever be the best singers of ALL TIME!!!! They actually sing meaningful motivational songs reality based🎶you could tell they new and loved music... They ARE music rip legends🙏❤️

Whitney, this could have been your greatest testimony. RIP

It hit me hard. And it still hits hard every time I hear this song. We love you, Whitney.

my daughter passed away with Lupus 2018 at age 24.....this was her motivation song. #DoItForKay

Having a mental breakdown and this song brought me bck mentally 😩😓❤️❤️❤️

Who's here 2024 bless all who see this

Legend. The Voice. The Goat.

Yesterday, I lost my mom 6 months ago and today is her birthday. Momma was my best friend. I didn't learn to appreciate her until later in life, but our bond became unbreakable. My heart is broken. I love you! Happy Birthday Mama!

She never lost her class. Greatest singer of all time.

This song connects so deeply to me right now. I watched my mom deteriorate and die(10-28-21) in a 4 month span. Then lost my daddy in the blink of an eye almost 2 years to the day that my mom did (10-23-23). They literally my best friends. I've been shunned by my family for showing grace and compassion to my step-mother of over 40 years. Got evicted from my home of 7 years and now my only vehicle is breaking down. I'm bending but not broken.

Something told me to stop and listen to this song. To God be the glory for ever and ever.

Who else is listening in 2019?? 🙋🏾

It's 2021 and im still listening to Miss Whitney. This song Makes so much sense in this pandemic .

Wow I’m in tears . At 18 I had it all . A rookie baseball contract and looked to retire my parents . Turned the money down and said enter college to increase my value . The first semester in college , went home and ended up going to jail . Served time for a crime I didn’t commit. A guy I thought was a friend robbed someone and he told I planned it but there was no evidence. No calls nothing but I was found guilty all cause it was my car. Lost baseball contract and was kicked out of college . Well the LORD never left my side cause once I got out of jail I did 20 years probation. After that I returned to college after having to write a Petition for myself on why they should let me in school. I now have a BS in Criminal finger prints analysis. Nothing but god I wanted to give up so many time , but god help me find my way

I gave up many times on this Journey of Life and I JESUS CHRIST ranged my doorbell at one of my most crucial times, PERFECT TIMING & I 100% ACCEPTED HIM. I still had many struggles, but I was DETERMINED TO LIVE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST & LOOK AT THE STRENGTH I FOUND! I am on year 8 in the FAITH, BUT THE JOURNEY HAS BEEN LONGER, but MY PEACE IS GREATER WITH HIM✝️ AND RIGHTEOUS OF MY MIND, BODY, SPIRIT THAN IT WAS WITHOUT HIM. I LOVE YOU NIPPY💜🤎🤎💜!! THANK YOU FOR MY SONG!!!😘🙌🏾

This song never gets old, even in 2020 stil moves me

Even with a reduced range Whitney is still better than 90% of the singers out there today. Diva. Goddess. Eternal Queen. ❤

"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, ohh Found hope in my heart I found the light to light My way outta the dark Found all that I need Here inside of me" AMEN! 😍

This is my song it got me through a lot I love you Whitney

I always backed down when children wanted to bully me but that is all because I didn't know my own strength but now they know not to mess with me.. Thanx whitney for singing this song

Lost touch with my soul I had no where to turn I had no where 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

Alguém mais aqui depois do Golden buzzer do Gabriel Henrique?! Essa é a música que toca na sequência assim que a Sofia Vergara aciona o botão dourado. E a letra dessa música tem tudo a ver com a trajetória do nosso melhor cantor do Brasil

I was not built to break! The enemy is hard at work, but I wont break!!!

Who else is listening to this in 2020

Dealing with a 14 year old son with a recent diagnosis of bipolar this song gives me a reminder to keep going on his behalf. "I was not built to break" and neither was my son.

2024 anyone 😊

One of my favorite Whitney songs. Her voice gives me chills.

LYRICS 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

Been married 5+years without a child. This song has been keeping me cos I.didn't think such a thing could happen to me

Father lord! What did I just watch and listen to? ladies and gentlemen, boys and Girls, Whitney Elizabeth Houston is the The Voice! For those arguing this and comparing her with other great singers, pls point me to any of their live performance that comes close to this. I have watched literally all live shows of Aretha franklin, mariah carey, Celine Dion.

This letter of appreciatiation to you. is heart felt, sincere, emotional and imperative, Dear Whitney, you touched my soul deeply in many ways than 1, and you still do. It was your voice, your music that helped and held me through my childhood sexual abuse and trauma, through those dark years of my life, your music kept my hope alive, telling me I was indeed going to be ok, believing I would Come to the west to see you in person perform, i devoted my secondary school study years to achieving excellence in both my grades and academics just so i could be awarded scholarship to America for my undergrad and grad studies. Hearing the news of ur death Same year I was awarded the scholarship, left me badly struggling and Hurt. I Want you to know that, i am thankful to you, not only for rescuing me, but also for sharing your gift and all of you with us loving us through it all. I am doing well now, living loving and thriving. I will tell my Kids about you, your impact to humanity with your gift, spirit, kindness, tenderness, love and affection. Though I never got to meet you, i am comforted you are with God now. Your legacy is transgenerational, supreme and it lives on. . I will always love you Whitney Elizabeth Houston. Thank you Chikamalu. C. ❤❤❤

I just lost my job at 60. I know God will help me through it. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. He said He would never leave us or forsake us. All things work for good for those that love God for those called accordion His purpose. Our strength comes from the Lord. The bless you and I am sending you my prayers. ❤🙏 Love you Whitney!❤️

Who else is listening to this in January 2024?

I loss my daughter October 6, 2020. She was I a car crash where she was a backseat passenger and one of three that died in the crash the driver who was speeding survived. I am so heartbroken from losing my only daughter. Lord please give me the strength to get through this. This song is a motivation for my because I don’t know my own strength

Malicious people laid false accusations upon me. Wanted to extort me of my hard earned money. Found myself fighting to clear my name. I decided to take it to court to clear my name. The news excited so many evil people on social media because I am a known media personality. I keep fighting. The truth shall come out. I was not built to break, and they hate that. This song has renewed my strength. Thank you Whitney. I pray someone reading this will be encouraged. Fight. Hold on.

Miss her so much. I was not built to break and I won't. Thank you!!

Gabriel henrique vc precisa fazer cover dessa canção da inesquecível WH.

This song got me through the worst times of my life. It emboldened me to face the darkness of life. I only wish it had done the same for Whitney. I lost my entire family. Being alone was the worse than death for me. This song kept me alive. " I didn't know my own strength, I was not built to break" Thank you Whitney. You will always be cherished by me. RIP multi-talented, lady, mother and soul. You will always be loved by your fans especially me. 😍😍😍💯💯💯

"The Joy of the Lord is Our Strength!" 👊 💘 🙏 ✝ 😍 📖 🐑 👼 🙏 💪 ✝ 🌈 Continue to RIHP & thank you for letting the Good Lord use you as His Godly instrument to inspire & motivate others during your Earthly journey! You are truly loved & missed, Whitney aka Nippy! 💘 🎶

I didn't know my own strength not built to break. Testimonies are important to all that will read them molestation abusive bad marriages bad relationships until GOD makes us be still while GOD worked on all of us to know him as our strength hope and love. Hold on to GOD'S hand

Even in her decline of her voice she was still better than 95 percent that is something!

💕💕this song brought me out of a very dark place...

This woman heals me❤️❤️ She sings strength & prayer🙌

Just realized how GREAT this song really is. I didn't know my own strength going through all my troubles, but I found out with God almighty. Thank You, Lord!!!

She looked so beautiful in this album cover. It's still so sad that we will never hear her voice again...

I can't begin to tell you how my life slowly fell apart.. I had a break down and was hospitalized for a month. I'm still fighting to get better. I've had alot of loss and so much has gone wrong..sometimes i can't believe i made it this far.. Now i found this song. Wow

This song so powerful. God i just want to thank you for choosing me. I once suffered alcoholism I depended on it to live. The moment i surrendered to God my life change entirely. A smile that once was camouflaged has been long been removed. Currently five yesrs into this new journey and its worth it. To anyone whos dealing with substance abuse, and depression I pray for you guys daily. Being sober is a feeling words cant even describe God Bless

After 8 gunshots I survived and recovered back to normal. All praises to the ancestors and God

Lord the way she delivered the line “I found the light to light my way out of the dark”! Whew! The way she delivered this line is so deep, so touching! I get in my feelings every time I listen to it. The Voice! ❤️

This song is more than just a song. It's the life anthem we all need inside of us.

I feel this song to my whole soul now 🥺❤️🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Whitney knew we needed this song.

I clearly feel that when Whitiney sang this song, she was wanting to free herself from the things that hurt her throughout her entire career! For me, it's like I lost someone very close to me! May God keep her in good stead! ✝️🖤1963-2012

Still with you.... 2020 in quarantine

I was not built to break........strong affirmation 2019?
