When I am down and oh my soul so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

And I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit a while 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 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 your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be



And 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



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
