about

W.O.T.W (Weight of the World) is a track about the ultimate sacrifice in history: The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for our sins. When Jesus died on the cross, He took on all of our sins, our shame, our guilt, our transgressions. He took on the entire sinful 'weight' of the world. This track sits in the gravity of that and reflects on what that means for us.

lyrics

You took the weight of the world
You took the weight of the world
You took the weight of the world
You took the
You took the weight of the world
You took the weight of the world
You took the weight of the world


You took the weight of the world
Switched and changed my whole condition
I was destined for the death Of my soul
in a prison By my own choosing
World was losing
That’s why you took the brusing
And a beating
All for our sake
Up out the fire lake
Is where you saved us
Went to claim the keys of death and Hades
Now my soul is reconciled
No longer pushing daisies
That Said you was crazy
And you weren’t the Messiah though
But When that curtain tore
They switched up
To that messiah flow
Some two thousand years ago
You were nailed to the cross
Took the weight of the lost
Took our sins on as yours
Took us up out the dark
You took us back to the start
Right in the garden of Yah
In the good grace of The Lord
I thank Him everyday
For His everlasting love
How He gave a way
Out the dirt and out the mud
For the price You paid
I abound in hope in love
Feel lighter than I ever was
And that’s because
You
took

You took the weights that were holding me down
You took depression
You took the weight of my shame
My pain
Misdirections
Imperfections
You took it on
You took the fall
Billions of sins became yours
You died for them all
And We tend to make it small
Thinking nothing much of it
Imagine being found guilty
Crucified in public
Sitting on death row
For a killer we ain’t know
For a murder we ain’t did
In a place that we ain’t go
All to shift the blame
Clear their name
Removing their stains
That’s what you did for me
My skeletons are hanging
No longer
Each day the weight seem like it get harder
Disasters and wars, a whole new world order
Huh
But that’s nothing to you
Cause When you died it was through
And Death will never have rule
Christ your Kingdom is true
And it’s ever lasting
For All the days
That’s why I rap and praise
That’s why you took the weight
of the world
