Sandra McCracken's 'You Are With Me' is a song of comfort and reassurance for those in difficult seasons. The lyrics express weariness and a sense of being in a valley, yet the singer chooses to lift her eyes and trust that God is present. She recalls God's comfort and the promise that joy comes in the morning. The song emphasizes God's constant presence—behind, before, and beside—even in dark valleys. It also touches on renewal, as God brings dry bones back to life. The repeated declaration 'I know You are with me' reinforces a theme of faith amid struggle, with a resolve to wait and praise.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

My heart is heavy and tired 

In this valley 

Mountains grow higher and higher 

But I can?t find You 

I?ll keep lifting my eyes 

I know You?re with me


I hear Your voice when You cry 

Comfort, comfort 

Sorrow may last for a night 

But in the morning 

Your joy breaks in with the light 

I know You?re with me 


I know You?re with me 

And You are for me 

You?ve been behind me 

You go before 

You walk beside me 

Through darkest valleys 

I know You are with me 


You led me here where it?s dry 

Out in the desert 

You bring these bones back to life 

You put together 

You sing a song of delight 

I know You?re with me 


I know You?re with me 

And You are for me 

You?ve been behind me 

You go before 

You walk beside me 

Through darkest valleys 

I know You are with me 


You will be praised 

I will, oh I will wait


You will be praised 

I will, oh I will wait


I know You?re with me 

And You are for me 

You?ve been behind me 

You go before 

You walk beside me 

Through darkest valleys 

I know You are with me 

I know You are with me
