You Raise Me Up

I heard the Men from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing this song "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Gorban today.  The music was so beautiful I wanted to find the lyrics.  The lyrics have such an important message for us at Esperanza--we should do this for our scholars (and each other!).  I found the lyrics in both English and Spanish.  :)



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.

Cuando estoy deprimido y, oh mi alma, tan cansada;
Cuando los problemas llegan y mi corazón está agobiado;
Entonces, inmovil y espero aquí en el silencio,
Hasta que llegues y visites aqui conmigo.
me elevas, para que pueda pararme sobre las montañas;
me elevas, para caminar en mares turbulentos;
me fortaleces, cuando estoy sobre tus hombros;
me engrandeces: A ser más de lo que puedo ser.
me elevas, para que pueda pararme sobre las montañas;
me elevas, al caminar en mares turbulentos;
me fortaleces, cuando estoy sobre tus hombros;
me engrandeces: A ser más de lo que puedo ser.
me elevas, para que pueda pararme sobre las montañas;
me elevas, al caminar en mares turbulentos;
me fortaleces, cuando estoy sobre tus hombros;
me engrandeces: A ser más de lo que puedo ser.
me elevas, para que pueda pararme sobre las montañas;
me elevas, al caminar en mares turbulentos;
me fortaleces, cuando estoy sobre tus hombros;
me engrandeces: A ser más de lo que puedo ser.
