These are the words to a song that I love to hear. I play it constantly. When I am listening to it, I can actually feel my heart constrict with emotion. When I hear it my thoughts are of God. I don't know if that is the intention of the writer. The first time I heard the song it immediately became a prayer to my Lord. Other singers have recorded the song. My favorite, the one I listen to, is Josh Groban.

"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.

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.

Rolf Lovland

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried; he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. Psalm 18:30-32,46
