"You Raise Me Up"

(Josh Groban)

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.

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.

Lord, you know the things that will bring me security, happiness, peace, and warmth in my heart. You carry me when I am confused, lonely, exhausted, and defeated. And you rejoice with me when I am happy, accomplished, and at peace. There are no secrets I can hide from you. You are the only one who can fully understand me, even more than I can understand myself at times. I am grateful for everything. I ask for forgiveness for all the wrongs I've done. I am humbled by your grace and love, which I feel from the people you brought close to my heart. Show me my purpose, help me understand it, and guide me to fulfill it. Thy will be done. Amen.
