You Raise Me Up

 Someone I love sent this to me but I do not know who wrote it.

When I am down and, oh my soul so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Until you come and sit a while 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."

I love the image of the Lord coming to sit a while with me; I also feel that I am often carried on the Lord's shoulders.
