“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”
The little boy’s name is Westin Asidor, and he is from the Philippines. His family has a ministry on YouTube where they encourage others with Christian music.
“The source of your favorite Christian songs. Thank you guys for subscribing and we pray that God will continuously guide us in every way,” reads the bio on the family’s YouTube page.
In the video, Westin sings the song with such power and heart. What a sweet little boy.
“What a precious little angel! I love this song and I love the way he sang it,” writes one person on YouTube after watching the video. “How God in heaven must smile down upon him and the rest of the children singing for His glory!”
“I am so amazed by this precious child’s singing but am more amazed that he knows what he is singing,” comments another person online. “That is a tribute to his parents. Jesus loves children because they are pure in heart.”
We hope that this sweet video of Westin Asidor singing ‘You Raise Me Up’ was able to uplift your spirits today!
Matthew 18:3
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
