Lyrics:
Optional 2nd verse, sometimes as instrumental. |
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 Chorus: 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. Chorus (optional) Chorus: 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 |
