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.
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.
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.

I was having a hard time this afternoon- just having one of "those" moments.  I was working and listening to some music online when the above song came on.  Josh Groban was singing and by the time the song was done - I was in tears.  I had just prayed earlier for God to grant me some peace give me strength so that I could continue to move on (and forward).  I was reminded that with God, I can do anything.  He does raise me up.  It doesn't always feel like it (I have felt pretty low lately), but He is always there.  I still don't understand, but maybe one day I will.  Until then, (and for always) I just have to remember that He is there, with me, with my family here on earth, and with my little angel. 

Thank you Lord for loving me, being beside me and giving me the strength to make it from one day to the next while loving and caring for me, my husband and my daughter.  Thank you for picking me up when I fall, supporting me when I doubt and walking with me as this journey continues.
