[English]

You spoke a word, life began

Told oceans where to start and where to end

You set in motion time and space

But still you come and you're calling me by name

Still you come and you're calling me by name

If you can hold the stars in place

You can know my heart the same

Whenever I fall away

Whenever I start to break

So here I am, lifting up my heart

To the one who holds the stars

...

The deepest steps, the darkest nights

Can't separate, can't keep me from you side

I get so lost, forget my way

...

But still you love and you don't forget my name

If you can hold the stars in place

You can know my heart the same

Whenever I fall away

Whenever I start to break

So here I am, lifting up my heart

...

If you can calm the raging sea

You can calm the storm in me

Never to fall away

You never show up too late

So here I am, lifting up my heart

...

To the one who holds the stars

...

Your love has called my name

What do I have to fear?

What do I have to fear?

...

Your love has called my name

What do I have to fear?

What do I have to fear?

If you can hold the stars in place

You can know my heart the same

Whenever I fall away

Whenever I start to break

So here I am, lifting up my heart

(Lifting up my heart)

If you can calm the raging sea

You can calm the storm in me

Never to fall away

You never show up too late

So here I am, lifting up my heart

To the one who holds the stars

You're the one who holds the stars
