you raise me up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary.

When troubles come and my heart burdened be.

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence.

Until you come and sit a while with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains .

You raise me up,to walk on stormy seas.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders.

You raise me up,to more than I can be.

There is no life -

no life without its hunger.

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly.

But when you come and I am filled with wonder.

Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up,so I can stand on mountains .

You raise me up,to walk on stormy seas.

I am strongwhen I am on your shoulders.

You raise me up,to more than I can be.
