You raise me Up

Music: Rolf Løvland
Text: Brendan Graham

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
You raise me up (he-a-lo-a-he-a-lo)

There is no life, no life without it’s hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternally

You raise me up
He-a-lo-a-he-a-lo
You raise me up
He-a-lo-a-he-a-lo

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

Lo – lo – lo – lo – lo – lo – lo – lo

He – lo – na – ho – lung
He -lo -na – ho – lung
He – lo – e – lo- lo
He – lo -lo


He – a – lo – a

You raise me up.. to more than I can be

He-lo-a-lo-a
He-a-lo

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
