Lyrics

When I am down

and, oh, my soul so wea ry,

when trou bles come

and my heart bur dened be,

then I am still,

and wait here in the si lence

un til you come

and sit a while with me.

You raise me up

so I can stand on moun tains;

you raise me up

to walk on storm y seas.

I am strong

when I am on your shoul ders;

you raise me up

to more than I can be.

You raise me up

so I can stand on moun tains;

you raise me up

to walk on storm y seas.

I am strong

when I am on your shoul ders;

you raise me up

to more than I can be.

You raise me up

to more than I can be.
