Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulders
I know my brother that He
Will carry you
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"
There is no problem too big
God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall
He cannot move it
And there is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe it
If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulders
I know my brother that He
Will carry you
If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulders
I know my sister that He
Will carry you
If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulders
I know my brother that He
Will carry you
If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulders
I know my sister that He
Will carry you
I know my sister that He
Will carry you
