Couplet 1

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

Tag

Yes these soon shall pass

Refrain

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

Couplet 2

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

Tag

Yes this too shall pass
But until it does

Refrain

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

Pont

And Your love it keeps on lifting me
And Your hope is
Marching on

Pont

And Your mercy surely carries me
And Your hope is
Marching on

Pont

And Your love it keeps on lifting me
And Your hope is
Marching on

Pont

And Your mercy surely
Carries me
And Your hope is
Marching on

Refrain

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

Outro

All the weight of this world
