Susan Boyle Sang a Breathtaking Cover of Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up"
The Britain's Got Talent Season 3 Finalist performed the song for a good cause.
In 2013, Britain's Got Talent Season 3 Finalist Susan Boyle performed in her native Scotland for a good cause, more specifically, for the annual BBC Children in Need telethon. There, she did a breathtaking rendition of the soulful tune "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban to support the organization.
During her amazing performance, she started off with a soft, controlled tone supported by gentle piano chords. When the chorus hit, her voice soared through the high notes as she sang the emotional lyrics and immersed herself in the music.
When the lovely strings and background vocals kicked in, Boyle belted in a way that will send chills down your spine.
Watch the gorgeous performance here.

The lyrics to"You Raise Me Up"
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.
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.
You raise me up to more than I can be
