When I am (F5)down

and, oh, my soul’s so wea ry;

and wait here in the (F)si lence

un til you (F)come

and (C)sit a while with (F5)me.

You raise me (Dm)up

so (Bb)I can stand on (F)moun tains;

you raise me (Dm)up

to (Bb)walk on storm y (F)seas.

I am (F)strong

when (Bb)I am on your (F)shoul ders;

to (C)more than I can (F5)be.

You (G)raise me (Em)up

so (C)I can stand on (G)moun tains;

to (C)walk on storm y (G)seas.

I am (G)strong

when (C)I am on your (G)shoul ders;

You raise me (G)up

There is no (C)life,

Oh, you raise me (C)up
