Razo, guitar player and back-up vocalist for The Great Commission makes clear the purpose of the band: "Being a part of the hardcore scene for 8 years we have come to the realization that the scene is full of broken, angry, hateful kids that come from broken homes and dysfunctional families. We can speak to them from experience because we used to be those kids. We know their broken, hardened hearts can be healed and we use our music as a way to reach them."
Weight of the World
The Great Commission Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know You are always with me forever even till the end of the age.
End of the age.
I am not A, we are not A-lone.
The weight of the world is crashing down on me.
Weight of the world is on my back.
The weight of the world is crashing down on me.
Weight of the world is on my back.
Through every trial I am not alone.
Through every hardship I am not alone.
You are my strength I am not along.
I know You are always with me forever even till the end of the age.
I know You are always with me forever even till the end of time.
I am not A, we are no A-lone.
The weight of the world is crashing down on me.
Weight of the world is on my back.
The lyrics of Weight Of The World by The Great Commission speaks about the struggles of life and how we can overcome them with the help of our faith in God. The first two lines repeat the assurance that God's presence will always be with us, even until the end of time. This is an expression of trust in God's promise to never leave nor forsake us. The phrase "end of the age" refers to the end of time as we know it which is commonly associated with the return of Jesus Christ.
The next part of the lyrics, "I am not A, we are not A-lone" means that the singer is not alone in his struggles. The letter 'A' here could mean 'alone'. The weight of the world is a metaphor for the problems and issues that weigh us down as individuals or as a society. It could be personal struggles, societal issues or even global problems. The lines "Through every hardship I am not alone. You are my strength I am not along" show that the singer derives strength to face the challenges of life from the support of God.
Overall, the song is a message of hope that despite the difficulties of life, there is always someone who will be with us. The song encourages believers to have faith in God, trust in His promises and take solace in the fact that they are not alone in their struggles.
