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.
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
