You Raise Me Up

Lyrics

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 meup, so I can stand on mountains,
You raise meup, to walk on stormy seas,
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders,
You raise meup, 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 meup, so I can stand on mountains,
You raise meup, to walk on stormy seas,
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders,
You raise meup, To more than I can be.
