Weight of the World

So you're troubled by the weight of the world
Sometimes you let it get you down
I'll tell you brother what I have heard
The Word has come around
There's a light shining in the darkness
A path outlined in the night
My redeemer says "take my yoke
For my burden is light"

Shake off the chains that weigh you down
The prison door is swinging free
The price is paid, the sacrifice is made
He gave us the key
So if you're troubled by the weight of the world
Come lay your burden down
Rest in the peace of His endless love
And your joy will be found

So if you need Him, and oh you need Him
You'll find the glory of the Word at the cross
Stop, all the hurry and all the worry
And count as gain what's loss
'Cause I've got hope, I'll never be defeated
He stands with me, with God He is seated
The Christ, the Lamb, the Son of I Am
His love is for me

So shake off the chains that weigh you down
The prison door is swinging free
The price is paid, the sacrifice is made
He gave us the key
So if you troubled by the weight of the world
Come lay your burden down
Rest in the peace of His endless love
And your joy will be found
