"Something Inside So Strong" (1989) Vanessa Bell Armstrong

[@ministersd]

Through racism, medical problems, ministry turmoils, etc. This was the song that has always stayed with me. Learned it at 9 years old. Now I walk after 11 years without needing a powerchair. SOMETHING INSIDE so STRONG! Thank you Holy Ghost for keeping me!

[@ajl2232]

You are the definition of this song. I'm glad you are doing great.

[@realtalk8813]

Amen! ❤️🙏

Amen

[@sharonmax6968]

I remember listening to this song riding to church with mom and dad. I will never forget this powerful song in their memory. Beautifully sung by Ms Vanessa Bell Armstrong 💕✝️🙏🏾

[@cynthiaspencer1657]

In my opinion this song embodies the spirit of Colin Kaepernick. Taking a knee was in no way disrespecting our military men and women. I support our military men and women. I also take a knee with Kaepernick, stand with him and continue to pray with and for him.

[@winterdame307]

Sang Nessa! Very inspirational song which is what I needed at this time! Thank you!!!!❤

[@markdrinkwater1508]

Vanessa Bell has one of the most beautiful and soul stiring voices of all time.

[@monease1073]

Lord, this song is more on point now than when this song was first released.

[@debbiebristow1439]

I can do all things through Christ that strength me.

[@mayac3539]

Yes. My mom God rest her soul use to play this song when I was little. Loved it ever since. ❤️

[@j.d.whitfield7604]

This song takes me back to my childhood. My 4th grade teacher had the class to learn this song. I haven't heard this song for 27 years.

[@rstat5481]

J.D. Whitfield, this is a very good idea. Thank you for sharing it. I am an Educator, and I am thinking about the youth.

[@realtalk8813]

Never guessed a teacher could play this for his class. It's a good idea. 🙏❤️

[@j.d.whitfield7604]

@@realtalk8813 Yes, we had to come up with choreography for it and everything. We were doing praise dancing back in 1990 before we knew what it was.

[@ministersd]

This song was my stepping stone from the time I was a child to adulthood. The good, the bad, and the ugly had no match because this song stayed in my spirit. Graduation day has come. Thank you "Gospel Nostalgia" for this. Thank you Lady Vanessa Bell Armstrong for this. I AM STRONG THROUGH JESUS CHRIST MY LORD.

The higher you build your barrier The taller I'll become The further you take my rights away The faster I will run You can deny me You can decide To turn your face away no matter 'cause There's something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong Oh, you thought that my pride was gone There's something inside so strong Oh there's something inside so strong The more you refuse to hear my voice The louder I will sing You hide behind walls of Jericho And your lies will come tumbling Deny my place in time You swander wealth that's mine But my light will shine so brightly It will shine over you There's something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong Oh, you thought that my pride was gone There's something inside so strong Oh there's something inside so strong Brothers and sisters When they insist we're just not good enough (Not good enough, ooh) But we know better (yes, we know better) Just look 'em in the eyes and say We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway (Do it anyway) There's something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong Oh, you thought that my pride was gone There's something inside so strong Oh there's something inside so strong
