a quick one...

its interesting that i had another similar rough week last week. coming back at 11pm for six days in a row doing the Portfolio Theory Management group assignment. the subject is one of those most feared in the commerce faculty. seriously. i think i spent more time with them than with my housemates during those days. but the effort really paid off. we understood well and completed it well. none of those last minute things. haha...

anyway, a quick posting of some research of my own some time ago. the song 'You Raise Me Up' popularized by Josh Groban and later Westlife, is a Christian song. written by a Christian trio, Selah, the song won the Dove Award(Christian music award in america) for the best song of the year.

i already had enough of the song, until danny then discovered the song and was playing it over and over again(eeeerrggggh!). but, being more accustomed to Josh Groban's version, it was Selah's original version and lyrics that made me grow close to that song again. here's to everyone...

You Raise Me Up
written by Selah

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

chorus:
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
