| Long can be the night of our struggle
|
| Deep can be the wounds of this life
|
| But hope lives on in spite of our trials
|
| And these soon shall pass
|
| Yes, these soon shall pass
|
| You take the world off my shoulders
|
| The weight of it all off my shoulders
|
| You breathe Your hope, You watch over
|
| And You take the world, all the weight of this world
|
| There are times of tears and of trouble
|
| We wander through the darkness of night
|
| But hope will shine inside of this battle
|
| And this too shall pass
|
| Yes, this too shall pass
|
| But until it does
|
| You take the world off my shoulders
|
| The weight of it all off my shoulders
|
| You breathe Your hope, You watch over
|
| And You take the world, all the weight of this world
|
| You take the weight
|
| You take the weight
|
| You take the weight
|
| And Your love, it keeps on lifting me
|
| And Your hope is marching on
|
| And Your mercy surely carries me
|
| And Your hope is marching on
|
| And Your love, it keeps on lifting me
|
| Oh and Your hope is marching on
|
| And Your mercy surely carries me
|
| And Your hope is marching on
|
| You take the world off my shoulders
|
| Oh the weight of it all off my shoulders
|
| Jesus, You breathe Your hope, You watch over
|
| Oh and You take the world, all the weight of this world
|
| Oh the weight of this world |
