I live my life,
The way Hashem has destined,
Each day does bring,
All different tests for me.
And so I try,
To stand up to the challenge,
To rise above the obstacles in me.
But something’s there,
Holding me back from growing,
Pushing me down,
While my heart cries yearningly!
I want to strive,
Oh, the bitter taste of failure!
Feeling so trapped in web of uncertainty.
Chorus:
I turn to You,
Cry out with pain and longing!
I turn to You,
Hashem please hear my plea!
Give me the strength,
To push a little harder,
Break through the chains
holding me in captivity!
I feel so small,
Standing before a mountain,
I feel so small,
How can I reach the peak?
Give me the strength,
To push a little harder,
Break through the chains
holding me in captivity!
So when times get hard,
My heart calls out with longing,
When struggles come,
There’s a battle within me.
When I want to grow,
To reach up ever higher,
I’ll lift my eyes to my Father up above!
Armed with this thought,
Hashem is always with me,
He sees my tears,
How much I yearn to change!
He’ll help me to,
Overcome each daunting challenge,
And I’ll become the best that I can be!
Chorus:
I turn to You,
Cry out with pain and longing!
I turn to You,
Hashem please hear my plea!
Give me the strength,
To push a little harder,
Break through the chains
holding me in captivity!
I feel so small,
Standing before a mountain,
I feel so small,
How can I reach the peak?
Give me the strength,
To push a little harder,
Break through the chains
holding me in captivity!
Chorus 2:
You raise me up,
So I can stand on mountains!
You raise me up,
To walk on stormy seas!
I am strong,
Knowing I’m on Your shoulders,
Lo Irah Rah Ki Atah Imadi!
You raise me up,
To more than I can be!
