BYU VOCAL PONIT JOSH GROBAN – YOU RAISE ME UP
This song’s message is timeless, you know? The way it speaks to our human experience of feeling overwhelmed and then finding strength in something greater… it’s like it’s written for every season of life.
The imagery in the lyrics is so vivid “stand on mountains” and “walk on stormy seas” . It’s like the song’s painting a picture of overcoming, of rising above, and it’s all because of God’s presence and strength. And that line “I am strong, when I am on your shoulders”. it’s like the ultimate expression of trust and dependence on God, man!
“YOU RAISE ME UP” LYRICS
“You Raise Me Up”
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
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
