The Weight

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Silver coins

Falling like frozen rain

Heavy palms and a bitter kiss

Shadows dancing on the temple walls

Pre-Chorus

He walked alone

He prayed alone

He bled alone

Chorus

Wade in the muddy water

My savior climbed that hill

Oh Wade in the muddy water

The world is standing still

(Choir: Standing still)

He carried the weight

(Choir: The heavy weight)

For every soul tonight

Post-Chorus

Have mercy

Oh Lord

Have mercy

Verse 2

Thunder rolls

Hiding the weeping sun

Nails biting into cedar wood

A crown of thorns for the King of Kings

Pre-Chorus

He walked alone

He prayed alone

He bled alone

Chorus

Wade in the muddy water

My savior climbed that hill

Oh Wade in the muddy water

The world is standing still

(Choir: Standing still)

He carried the weight

(Choir: The heavy weight)

For every soul tonight

Guitar Solo

Oh Wade in the muddy water

The world is standing still

For every soul tonight

Wade in the muddy water

My savior climbed that hill

Oh Wade in the muddy water

The world is standing still

Oh Lord

Have mercy

Bridge

The veil is torn in two

The sky turned black as coal

He breathed his final word

To save a broken soul

Verse 3

Lowered down

Into the hollow ground

Silence hanging in the garden air

Waiting for the morning light to break

Chorus

Wade in the muddy water

My savior climbed that hill

Oh Wade in the muddy water

The world is standing still

(Choir: Standing still)

He carried the weight

(Choir: The heavy weight)

For every soul tonight

Outro

Forgive them Lord

They know not what they do

Deep down in the valley

Wait for the stone to move

(Choir: Have mercy)

It is finished

(Choir: Have mercy)

Oh mercy

(Choir: Finished now)

Gone too soon

Low and slow

(Choir: Wade in the water)

Rest your head

Rest your soul

Fade Out
