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.*x2



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.
