I am at a complete loss after seeing what happened last night in new zealand. I cannot unsee the live video that I accidentally stumbled upon.... I will never comprehend the hate and anger in these horrendous acts of violence. I will never accept them, We are all humans. We are all equal....Only light and love belongs here. Sitting here with tears streaming down my face watching these young kids singing with all their hearts brings me hope for the future. I have two young children... and I need to believe that they will be safe, that they will be brought into a world that believes in love and peace and equality. I vow to you, and the world that I will live my life promoting love and goodness and bring as much light into this world that I possibly can... for my family, for the hollensfamily, for the world... why would there be any other reason to be alive? Thanks for listening. Love you all. - P
I hope Josh Groban likes it ;)

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
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
#YouRaiseMeUp, 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
You raise me up... To more than I can be
One of the reasons I did this song was because of the beautiful version the Celtic Woman did of You Raise Me Up. The biggest reason however, is because of you and your requests keep those coming down below.

Thank you Peter for all the love you bring to the hearts of so many people! It`s the best we can do: Lay love in the hearts of the people. Yes, and pray to God! Jesus preached Love and Piece ...

Very impressive Peter. Nicly done 👍👍👍💪

Human voice, the most complicated and perfect musical instrument.

[@sathishk732]

Andros Charalambous Pyliotis indeed

[@thomastelgenhoff7401]

This is true

[@abnormalionn1136]

I just thought about it. Singing is just us vibrating our bodies in a way that produces pleasing vibrations for our nerves, kind of like an brain massage.

[@donalddong7662]

The best musical instrument is the euphonium.

[@titusmaximus7278]

The human voice is the most versatile musical instrument. With 200 voices what an orchestra you had there.

[@ann-mari2709]

"You Raise Me Up" is a song originally composed by the Norwegian-Irish duo Secret Garden. The music was written by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland, and the lyrics by Brendan Graham.

I’m going to sing this to my mom on her 50th birthday, she’s helped me with my struggles. My autism, anxiety, ADHD, depression. This song is her anthem, and I wouldn’t be here today if she wasn’t in my life. This song tells her story of how she raised ME up, and I can’t thank her enough

[@riamaddalenasinaga8720]

We don't really need instruments because the human voice can be beautiful as is, especially collectively.

[@itstotesmelirn1725]

djondjon I am offended haha -Offended Clarinet Player

[@goora1866]

With that logic we could also say no one needs voices in music, since piano can do that on its own, but you dont see anyone saying that Edit: this can go for any instrument that can play multiple notes at once

[@MelindaKay-jq8bx]

This song is a favorite of mine. This group did an AMAZING job singing it!! I LOVED IT!!!!!

[@rosscockburn2269]

I’m not crying - you’re crying! A veteran listening on Veterans’ Day - found meaning I have never before.

[@corinnec.1918]

“Raise me up” is such a beautiful song already and it’s lyrics make me cry; pair it w/ the angelic voices of 200 kids and Peter caused me to unleash a flood of tears. My husband doesn’t get why i love songs that make me cry.

[@SuperMatt2112]

I get it, me too, I am a 60-year-old man who also loves to cry with songs like this, why? I honestly don't know that answer, but my hunch is that its moments like this that rattles our souls to its core to connect us to our proper and righteous place in this beautiful earth we all call home. I think it's all about the energies, it's like riding on the wave of creation itself, and its beautiful. With our world in seemingly wicked times with so much chaos all around us, its important to remind ourselves to reconnect with the heavens because songs like this is like speaking tp spirit God himself. it brings us back to the oneness we were always meant to be all along. just a hunch though... yeah I get it

[@mrviclamb6819]

As a man, love songs also make me cry.

[@cami9447]

Because you can feel it in your soul.

[@adrielsg100]

Very beautifully sung by both Peter and the choir. Touched to the core of the heart.

[@ashleyschultz3217]

[@estelitaneoomuceno5231]

Peter Hollens never fail to deliver the meaning of every song he sings. I feel the faith and hope that there's still so much love all around in spite of wars and diseases going on around the world. Let's keep the faith on THE ONE who holds the world HE created in HIS arms.

[@marilynnjefferson8525]

Four years this video has been up and I see it for the first time on Good Friday, 2023. It is beautiful, soul filling, worthy of remaining forever. Thank you, Josh Groban and and every member of your a cappella chorus.

[@laryssag.9342]

Hopefully this song can reach everyone around the world.

[@PeterHollens]

I hope that it reaches those that need it today for sure.

[@ambeauty2001]

Peter really needs to collab with Pentatonix. They would be so awesome!

[@Madhatterphotography]

Omg yes

[@Ethan-mp7wr]

Honestly, it’s going to happen. We all know that

[@ambermessmer-simpson7346]

pentatonic needs to collaborate with him. I have goosebumps on my goosebumps

[@tuckermurrell6761]

[@Black-Swan-007]

I disagree. Pentatonix are overrated and not nearly as talented as everyone thinks they are. Peter is so much greater than they are!

[@marieeverson4980]

Very nice. Carry on singing for the Glory of God. God bless you.

[@teresadilts7876]

I never thought I would say this. But it's better than the original. Nothing against Josh Groban, he's amazing. But this is another level all together

[@chrisrussell3064]

Do you mean it's better than Josh Groban's cover of the original by Secret Garden? Josh Groban didn't write it.

[@saveryplays1260]

As a Christian, this was powerful and full of spirit and that is something that I dearly love. God bless!

[@HartDoug]

There are few songs or singers that can ‘bring me to tears’ but this song and this... no, these singers have done precisely that! This is an amazingly beautiful rendition of an amazingly beautiful song!

[@gregkokegei2531]

Peter, with every fiber of my being, thank you for your version of this song. "You Raise Me Up" has a very, very special place in my heart. In May 2017, my Wife and I lost our 20 month old son Elijah to Congenital Heart Disease. In the space of one day, our whole world had fallen apart. We were completely lost and had no idea how we were going to cope with the coming days and weeks. A couple of days later, in the depths of horrendous depression, I happened to hear this song performed by Josh Groban. These lyrics and his delivery spoke right to my shattered soul and gave me a tiny sliver of hope; hope that no matter how tough the road ahead, there is always light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Even in the deepest pit of depression, this song gave and still gives me hope. Having just viewed your cover of this absolutely beautiful song with 200 angels singing behind you, I was in tears of joy and peace. Nearly 4 years after Elijah's passing, it has renewed that feeling of hope for the future. You are a musical genius and I am so grateful for the passion that you show with every project you complete. With the love of our eldest son and each other, the road ahead is looking decidedly brighter. Your beautiful voice and your beautiful family continue to inspire and reassure us. God bless you.

Im 30 years old, but for just a moment, you took me back to 6 years old, singing this with my mother like a lullabye. Thank you, Peter, for always managing to pull my emotional strings.

I remember being in chorus when I was a kid, singing this with my fourth-grade teacher. It's still one of my favorite songs. And these videos - your videos - remind me that for all of the hate and violence in the world, there's a lot of love and goodwill too. Thank you, Peter. For keeping me alive.

[@MarkHawkinsFlute]

The pure joy on the faces of the singers just makes the song that much more powerful. Amazing!!!

Fabulous beyond words. When Peter teared up, so did I. There’s so much potential in those young people.

I am so thrilled this generation is taking a renewed liking to acapella music. It is enjoyable to sing all types of music. Its simplicity and purity also make it wonderful for worship settings.
