Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no problem too big
God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall
God cannot move it

There is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep

He cannot soothe it

Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know my brother that He will carry you
Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know my sister that He will carry you

He said, "Come on to me all who are weary
And I will give you rest, rest, rest, rest"

Rest, rest, rest

There is no problem too big
God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall
He cannot move it

There is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe it

Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
Oh, I know my brother that He will carry you
Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders

Oh, I know my sister that He will carry you
I know my brother and I know my sister that Jesus will carry you

I know, I know! I'm not a church-goer, but I do believe in God and I have an incredible thirst for this kind of music. I love all the upbeat southern gospel music with these types of chord progressions. I've been listening to this kind of stuff for hours today and last night. Tried to sing along to Old Country Church, but couldn't because, much to my surprise, the dam of my tears nearly burst. I leaked a drop from each eye, but my voice was too unsteady. I get a lump in my throat listening to Vestal Goodman.
