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.
