My shoulders are narrow
My body is weak
I haven’t got any good words to speak
My heart often falters
My footing’s unsure
Under the weight of the world

The weight of the world
The weight of the world
Under the weight of the world

This is no load for one person to bear
Just one is able, just one anywhere
I’ll take it all to King Jesus in prayer
He’s strong for the weight of the world

The weight of the world
The weight of the world
He’s strong for the weight of the world

I am not able for all of my cares
Even my winnings are more than I’ll bear
I’ll take it all to King Jesus in prayer
He’s strong for the weight of the world

The weight of the world
The weight of the world
He’s strong for the weight of the world

The fabric of faith is too strong to tear
Woven by Christ, the saints daily will wear
A surety that Jesus, so strong and so fair
Has carried the weight of the world

The weight of the world
The weight of the world
He’s carried the weight of the world
He’s carried the weight of the world
