You raise me up

I would guess that my grandbaby has written hundreds of miles on the shoulders of her granddad. Since she outgrew the  babe in arms stage, that perch has been her favorite way to travel.
This summer I have noticed just how tall she has gotten as her long, lanky legs now reach his waist. He recently had surgery and has not been able to lift her, much left tote her around in a while. They both have expressed frustration that, even though she is now 7 years old, he can't carry her right now.
It makes me think of a song I love recorded a while back by one of my favorite recording artists. I am posting the link to the official video here for your listening pleasure.
