When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so wearyWhen troubles come, and my heart burden beThen, I am still and wait here in the silenceUntil you come and sit awhile with me.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountainsYou raise me up to walk on stormy seasI am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be.

We are often so focused on our problems that we miss the solution that is right there,

only a prayer's distance away. Let us never forget that

better plans for us than we have for ourselves.
