Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
There is no life no life without it's hunger
Each restless heart beat so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
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.
You raise me up to more than I can be.

When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When I feel low and exhausted, with my spirit drained
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
When challenges arise and my heart is heavy
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
I remain calm and wait in silence for comfort
Until you come and sit awhile with me
Until you come and spend time with me
There is no life no life without it's hunger
Life always has its desires and needs
Each restless heart beat so imperfectly
Every heart beats imperfectly with uncertainty and anxiety
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
But when you arrive, I am amazed and awestruck
Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity
At times, I feel like I see a glimpse of eternity
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You uplift me, so I can overcome great challenges
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
You enable me to sail through rough patches of life
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
I feel capable and powerful with your support
You raise me up to more than I can be
You help me become the best version of myself
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You empower me to exceed my potential.

Love this group. The director, Jim Clancy, is the son of Martha Moore Clancy, my former choir director! She taught him well, as she had some of the most incredible choirs that have ever been in the Baptist church!!
