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.

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.

[written by Rolf Lovland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham]

Psalm 3:3 … But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Psalm 91:2 … I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Exodus 19:4 … Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

1 Peter 5:6-7 … Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Isaiah 40:31 … But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. ♥
