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 raised me up so I can stand on mountains You raised me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raised 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 raised me up so I can stand on mountains You raised me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raised me up to more than I can be You raised me up so I can stand on mountains You raised me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raised me up to more than I can be
