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.

Ahh love you too forever!! :D 💙 there will be horrible things forever, but there are soo many good, beautiful things! You inspiring soo many people, cause you're awesome! Never give up, don't let darkness affect the light, then will the light grow!
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 ...
There is so much darkness. But don't forget... there is also SO MUCH LIGHT. You do so much to show your love Peter. And you inspire others to do the same. I appreciate you so much.
Love your great heart Peter...i pray every day for hate and anger to disappear and love of all life matters returns
Very impressive Peter. Nicly done 👍👍👍💪
”You look your best when you unlock the potential of others.” Thank you Peter for illustrating this. This might be your best video ever.

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
So sad😭
That's great dear 😊 Bless the Lord for the your mother then ❤️
I can relate to your comment, I’ve had the same struggles with the exception of autism, God bless you!✝️🙏🏼😊
Praise God.. It's God's grace through your mom. God bless you!
You are truly luck to have someone like that in your life!
The human voice is the most versatile musical instrument. With 200 voices what an orchestra you had there.
As a Christian, this was powerful and full of spirit and that is something that I dearly love. God bless!
That's true
My Dad just passed, and this was our song. Dad was this to his children, grand children, great grand children and the community in which he lived.
This was the song when my dad passed 20+ years ago, still I tear up when I hear it.
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!
I totally agree, it’s so uplifting.
I agree. tears flowing.
Dear God, my heart is so full right now.... bless all of you and TY!!!
Seeing you from 2012, when I was a kid, proud of you man. Keep singing and love you all.
Saarthak Same here😍
Thank you so much!! Love right back to ya!
“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.
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
As a man, love songs also make me cry.
Because you can feel it in your soul.
Very beautifully sung by both Peter and the choir. Touched to the core of the heart.
Neither did my dad for my mom, but they were married for 56 years.
Y’all are amazing, you don’t have to understand EVERYTHING about each other!
Who's watching in 2023? 200 angelic voices are singing in the heavens. Our steps are ordered by the Lord God Almighty. Today, Divine algorithms brought us watching this. Amazing God we serve 🙌 🙏
This video popped up just when I needed most ❣️🙏
@@oblivian9505Enjoy! This video raises me up.
@@DonYutuc I just watched the 2nd part❣️ it really does lift the spirit❣️
still sends me to a peaceful and happy place in 2024
I am also here in December 2024 😊
This blows me away . It is one of my favorite songs and for me it describes my relationship with God, trusting him, praying, and trusting he knows what is best. Great job Peter your voice is incredible and the way the kids sang was amazing!
HE is our Rock!!
My favorite song, I could imagine my strength when I am on your shoulder, I miss u a lot MH🌹
After what happened yesterday, I found myself playing this on repeat. I know that there is good in this world, and people all over are banding together to support those who have been affected by this travesty.
Thank you Peter for being willing to be a shining light of love.
DUDE! I have secretly wanted you to do this song for around two years now! It’s even better than I imagined. It’s beautiful, everyone working together. If only that translated to the real world...
WHY SECRETLY?! :P Just kidding my friend!! I am happy that I got it out today then!
I've missed the large chorus a capellas lately.
Glad they're back. These songs have such power in them.
Yes yes yes!!! Couldn't agree more!
Same. They are are awesome! @@PeterHollens
Agree 1,000,000% xxx
Human voice, the most complicated and perfect musical instrument.
Andros Charalambous Pyliotis indeed
This is true
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.
The best musical instrument is the euphonium.
Andros Charalambous Pyliotis amen 🙏🏻
The light you give to people of all sorts is like a spotlight in a dark, dank, unforgiving world. Thank you for shining on Peter.
What the world needs now is love, peace, unity, hope and joy through beautiful inspirational songs like You Raise Me Up.....thank you.
During the hardships being suffered by too many of us across the globe....this is a few minutes of peace. God bless us everyone 🙏
The pure emotion that is shown. You dont see that often. Thia is amazing
It's so beautiful, how you've gotten emotinal, when they started singing. Truly astonishing song.
2024 , every time I watch this I ball my eyes out crying ... so powerful and beautiful ❤❤❤
There's something so powerful about young voices united in harmony! Grateful it continues to move hearts like yours 🎶❤️
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.
Absolutely beautiful. I was on the brink of tears when the 2:22 mark hit. So powerful with everyone singing together like that. Chills literally ran through my whole body.
GOOSEBUMPS GALORE!!!!!
holy wow. I read your comment THEN it came. that was absolutely amazing.
Yes I almost cried😩
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.
Needed this after hearing bout New Zealand. Good job. Josh would be proud.
Ahh yeh the news about new Zealand is horrible!!! 😠😢
Me too. Somehow stumbled into the livestream on Twitter last night and didn't even know what is was at first. Something I can never ever unsee..... 😔
Peter Hollens that is horrifying. I hope you are doing ok.
Yes, it is more than awfull. And now the news about Utrecht in the Netherlands... I live in the Netherlands😢
Dutch Horse Lover just saw that an hour ago. I’m sorry. 😔
This piece has had such an impression on me ..that I forwarded to my son Warren..living in Durban .waiting for an operation scheduled for August 15 for cancer .he needs all the prayers possible...amen🙏🙏
That's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Thanks be to God .
Oh. My. Gosh. This is absolutely amazing. Josh Groban is a very good singer and one of my favorite. And you did this song so well.
Thank you so much Akkionn!! He is one of my faves too! :)
This was truly touching. Like so many have said before me; you're a real inspiration. You're so much more than just a singer, or an artist, or a youtuber. You're _light_ and _love_ and _goodness_ and we need more people like you. Thank you so much for this wonderful cover, Peter.
God bless you and all these wonderful, talented kids!
OMG. Nothing compares. Absolutely the most beautiful I have heard.
That means so much to me! Thank you for the amazing compliment! This song really is special and I’m so happy this version has touched you deeply! 💖🎶
I'm getting chills. Literal chills. A praise to everyone who are involved in the performance, it was amazing!
One of my favorite songs covered by the amazing Peter Hollens ... This can't get any better 😍😍😍
Peter, I do not speak english as a primary language, but I'll try my best to say what I think...
Your voice with all the wonderfull voices joining you, singing this beautifull and emotional songs are the best medicine the human race can achieve now.
Yes, you makes me cry like a baby.
And yes, you have been blessed.
People singing to hope is the best tool to heal a society wounded by pettyness and hate and social inequality.
Please, continue singing like you do.
In the meantime, I try to do my best to spread your voice...
Thank you.
Thank all of you for healing my soul.
It's an honor and a privilege to me have the chance to hear your voices.
Considering that English is not your first language you have written an amazing comment. You have put love and poetry into your words. The world needs more people like you. Greetings from Wales and stay safe in the troubled and dangerous times.
Such a beautiful song...thank you for sharing your love and light with the world. Your Mom is really proud of you both❤
Du bist einfach ein Traummann, Peter! Du bringst so viel Licht und Freude in diese Welt, es ist einfach unglaublich!
Ja man
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.
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.
One of the most beautiful songs you sing! Thank you to all the Veterans for your service. ⭐️💖⭐️
I have this song downloaded from Apple Music. Beautiful. Also Baba Yetu. ⭐️💖⭐️
Singing this one hits deep in the soul - forever grateful to our Veterans and honored to share this tribute.❤️
So many beautiful voices from extremely talented and gifted individuals united for a common cause
❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉😅😅😅
Just MAGIC.....All i can say....I am lost for words.....🥰😍🤩😘🙏
Thoughts are prayers go out to the victims of the appalling tragedy in New Zealand. So many bright and beautiful souls have been taken from us. It gives me comfort to know the world is mourning as one, and that for every one of these monsters there are a million of us. The New Zealand synagogues are closed for shabbat in the first time in that nations history in solidarity with the victims. God bless🇺🇸❤️🇳🇿
My God raise me up....this is the best version ive ever listened to🎉 Thank you💙
What a wonderful voice sends shivers up the spine when he sings. Thank You Peter and choir
What a beautiful tribute. A great father I know he’s resting with Jesus waiting and watching over his family 🙏♥️
I’m not crying - you’re crying! A veteran listening on Veterans’ Day - found meaning I have never before.
WOW! This is truly wonderful, with Peter and a huge choir at their best! Turn it up and listen to pure joy...and then..... at 2:25, put your seat belt on! There's just nothing like 201 gorgeous voices letting go!!! Thank you Peter and choir!
Yes! That moment at 2:25 definitely hits different! 😄 Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so glad you loved it!
And we're still waiting on the Josh Groban collab! How many more years is it gonna take?
I've been waiting 7 years, ever since that Falling Slowly cover!
Hmmmmmmm 🤔I would 100% love to collab with him, (after I cried under my desk from pure joy that is)
Have you asked him yet?
@@Faraklin Not sure if Peter has, but I've posted several times on his YT asking him to!
This is absolutely Beautiful Peter Hollens!!!! Great Work!!!! Can you please consider singing "Here I Am" from the movie Spirit Stallion of the Ciramon?
That one has been requested a lot so it is already on my list, but I will put another star by it! Thank you so much!! Much love to you!
Bump.
Yeeeesssss
Great to see some appreciation for a epic movie and soundtrack
That is a contender to be my wedding song, so please do it 😘😭
In all my years of being in different churches and etc., I've not heard a more beautiful rendition until today...
Absolutely Beautiful Praise God for all those kids Blessing him with their voices. Superb
Yes, such a beautiful blessing! Thanks for appreciating these young talents shining bright! ✨🎵
When young lives are sacrificing in Hong Kong right now for liberty from a corrupt and relentless tyranny, you sing like angels for us desperate souls. We want so much a brighter future, and the echoes of your song burn like incense of supplication to the Almighty in my heart. A thousand thanks.
Hay Wing Pong the USA is with you ❤️
2:22 Never before in my life has a cover ever put me on the verge of tears......and honestly I’m glad it did
Holy crap those kids brought it! Love it when you get out and do teaching/recording like this with younger gen. Your vocals as always spot on.
Fabulous beyond words. When Peter teared up, so did I. There’s so much potential in those young people.
Speechless and total amazement. When these kids started singing I had a chill run throughout my soul.
I been listening to this song over and over again, Peter Hollens sure killed it. This song raise me up to stay righteous. And I am strong 💪 and standing tall. Well done 👍 Peter.
This song has always made me cry, and of course, this version was no exception. Well done to the choir, and well done Peter.
I'm just gonna go cry in my pillow. Thank you. Lots of love. ♡
I love you! Don't cry! That will make me cry!!!
@@PeterHollens Okay, no more crying! XD ♡
Best version
I love when Peter sings like this, it touches every part of my heart and soul. I will always follow your music Peter Hollens so keep on singing. God Bless You.
Perfection!! I have heard many performances of this song and this is by far my favorite. Beautiful faces singing with their souls and Peter, your voice is a balm for these troubled times. Thanks.
We don't really need instruments because the human voice can be beautiful as is, especially collectively.
djondjon I am offended haha
-Offended Clarinet Player
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
Very powerful song and with the backing of 200 children 👏👏👏. I had tears running down my face by time the song finished. Love love love this song 💕💕
And At at 1am it deserves to be listened to on full volume
No matter how many times i listen to this, I ALMOST ALWAYS CRY WHEN THE CHOIR BACKS PETER. AHHHHHHH
It's hug time 🤗
"You raise me up"
Peter, you are great on your own, but even greater when you work with, and uplift, the voices of others, especially children.
thank you
all of these peoples voices blending together br!ought me to tears at how beautiful the outcome was!
Yes Lord, You raise me up!!! So beautiful and calming. The angels are singing... what a beauty to behold. Your voices are heaven sent. Please continue singing sharing your gift to humanity.....
One of the first songs that actually made me cry. You and everyone else there has a beautiful voice, keep it up!
I knew he'd have them sing with him at some point. My God, I was not prepared. Full body chills and tears. So beautiful.
I've listened to this version dozens of times now, and I still get chills. You have the voice of an angel!
Nothing else could light up the faces of these kids than singing this song with passion and the encouragement of Peter
Lieber Peter, du hast dich in jeder Hinsicht selbst übertroffen! ❤ Herzlichen Dank!!
Du solltest es auf englisch schreiben
My German sucks but let me guess: ”Dear Peter, you have outdone yourself yet again! Thank you so much!”
@@MusicGodAndMyLaptop Perfekt! Perfect! 😊
@@MusicGodAndMyLaptop Yes, not bad :)
Ich lernte Deutsch und dann habe ich aufgehört ... so, jetzt benutze ich Google Translate :)
Ich liebe Sie alle!
Oh MY GOODNESS! SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN SINGING.HIS VOICE IS AMAZING! I LOVE HIS VOICE. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
GBT!!! I am so hopeful when I hear this amazing music and lyrics and read comments like these. God bless you Peter Hollens and thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and beliefs. I also have a really difficult time understanding what is so hard about seeing the human being behind every face we encounter. Let us all look for the good in this world and bolster each other.
So glad to see your music . I agree we do see more violence and hatred these days it saddens me so much of this. Your music brings me so much peace and happiness and the joy i feel. Thank Peter
The tears in his eyes. I love this man so much. He brings me through tough times, he alleviates my depressions and anxieties, calms me and makes me recover from migraine.
This song is a favorite of mine. This group did an AMAZING job singing it!! I LOVED IT!!!!!
We’re so glad you loved it! This song really has a special place in our hearts too, and these kids nailed it! 🎶🙌
Me: "He is gonna make all of them sing with him together and I am prepared for that awesome moment-"
Me at 2:22 : "I was not ready."
Chills every time!
Me too dude. Me too💖
I wasn't ready either. 😭
No one can be prepared for that moment
Same. The goosebumps were real!
Beautiful, loveliest and most memorable gift you both could ever give your sister on her special day..❤
i got actual chills when all of the kids started singing, so amazing
I absolutely adore how at 1:20 you can see Peter genuinely enjoys being sung to by those children.
One of the best songs this was played at my Grandmothers funeral in 2013 to this it makes me cry when I hear you raise me up
As a musician and a Christian this is the best of both worlds, and the chords are perfect and beautiful. Thank you for videos like this.
This is my place of peace... The one where I feel everything is just.. Right... Thank you. 1:54
OMG, this has brought tears to my eyes , what a fantastic rendition , i sang for years in choruses. and quartets , and my one ambition was to sing this with the chorus backing me , it never happened and because of illness. never will. i'll close my eyes . listen to this. and pretend its me singing ! its gorgeous. and sublime , thank you . Phil xxx
Wow, what a great voice. This was one of the best renditions of this song I have heard outside of Josh Groban singing it.
Please record more and more and...I can't get enough of your amazing harmony. It's like listening to my parents harmonize. I'm sure they can hear you in Heaven and are singing along with you. Thank you for sharing your God given gifts.
Such a beautiful memory of your parents - honored that my harmonies can connect you with them in Heaven! 🕊️
I don't think there could have found a better time in my life than when I "Tripped" over this. Thank you Josh Groban and everyone. My heart and soul so needed this.
Wow, wow, wow!!!
That was such an incredible & emotive performance, that really touched & enriched the soul.
Just marvellous in every way.
this is actually the most beautiful version I have ever heard, Sorry it made me cry and it touched me. I'm at loss for words
Came back 4 months later and STILL get chills! INCREDIBLE SOUND EVERYONE!
My grandmother loved it when we, her granddaughters, sang this song. Hayst.. It's almost been a year since she passed away.
This is a masterpiece...I'm blown away. Loss for words. Incredible
This song has always been one of my favorites, and you covered this beautifully.
I am so glad that TH-cam exists so that I can hear this. This song I heard back in 2018, and is still one of my all-time favorites. It gives life so much meaning while trusting in Him to guide me in life. Acapella is awesome!!
First!! I love how you are working with the youth in your community!! This was so beautiful and very inspiring to me as a young musician. Thank you!!
WOOP WOOP!!! ❤️
The choirs were amazing and being able to work with them was one of the best moments of my life. It brought so much happiness to my life. And WOW..... they are just amazing.
@@PeterHollens It’s crazy to me that so many people I know are in this video, and I didn’t notice because I never watched it before!
This is one of the favorites, I love seeing you in your element. I love the expressions on your face. May I say your words and voice raises me up. I hope we your followers raise you up too.
Oh my gosh Mr. Hollens you are giving me chills, this is so beautiful!! God bless you and your family!!
it's a yes from me!
I listen to this every morning, while I am praising God for His goodness. Thank you.
Performance was just stunning !!!Not just a great voice but also a great person with a big heart ❤️
Thank you
