And I sing to Baby J. I sing nursery rhymes and nonsense songs. I sing snatches of pop songs, Italian arias, musical medleys, you name it. But I have one particular favourite. I like it because it's got a simple, traditional tune and it's easy to sing. But most of all I like it because when I look at J, the lyrics have meaning for me. I am filled with wonder, and I think I glimpse eternity.
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.
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.
