Weight of the World by Shelly E. Johnson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the far ends of the earth
In the shadows where evil lurks
Daughters and Sons, in the image of God
Fall to the enemy's

[Verse 2]
There where the angels roam
The Father looked down from His Throne
He saw every scar, and with grace in His heart
He sent His Son to redeem

[Chorus 1]
With the weight of the world on His shoulders
It's more than a cross He would bear
The sins of the world as His suffering
Only His love, kept Him there
The guilt of all man
Nailed through His hands
To carry the weight of the world
[Verse 3]
Innocence sentenced to die
Willing to lay down His life
The pure spotless Lamb
Was slaughtered for man
And by His wounds, we are healed

[Chorus 2]
With the weight of the world on His shoulders
It's more than a cross He would bear
The sins of the world as His suffering
Only His love, kept Him there
The guilt of all man
Nailed through His hands
To carry the weight of the world!
All the weight of the world!...

[Bridge]
Oh, how precious, is the flow
That makes me white, white as snow
No-o, other, fount I know
The blood of Jesus, saves my soul
Oh, how precious, is the flow
That makes me white, white as snow
No-o, other, fount I know
The blood of Jesus, saves my soul!
[Chorus 1]
With the weight of the world on His shoulders
It's more than a cross He would bear
The sins of the world as His suffering
Only His love, kept Him there
The guilt of all man
Nailed through His hands
To carry the weight of the world...
