You raise me up …

What I simply love about life is the sheer magic of surprises. And the best thing is they come in all sizes, packages, shapes, colours and kinds. If you’re wondering what surprise initiated this post – it’s a song! It’s called “You raise me up” by Josh Groban. The words were like a high-powered beam of light that pierced through the darkness of confusion and inadequacy.

The lyrics:

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.

It was just the reminder I needed to tell myself. The power, more often than not, comes from where we are rooted. Have you ever looked at your roots?
