You Raise Me Up這首歌是一首讚美詩,事實上是歌頌上帝,告誡人們在任何艱難壓抑的情況下,靠著上帝勝過自己、勝過環境的「福音類」的歌。間奏的風笛更是讓人深陷音樂深海之中無法自拔,作為少有的勵志和感恩音樂,最後的合唱氣勢磅礴,堅定有力。其中有一句You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas,是從《聖經》的典故而來----耶穌走在海面上。中文意思簡單可翻譯為「是你鼓舞了我」,是一支由New Age Music樂隊Secret Garden(神秘園)演唱的歌曲名稱,被多次翻唱。

Lyrics by: Brendan Graham
Music by :Rolf Lovland
Solo:Brian Kennedy
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 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.
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;
And 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.
