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 awhile 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. 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 strong

when i am on your shoulders;

you raise me up: to more than i can be. 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. you raise me up: to more than i can be.
