He took the weight

Verse 1

On the hillside

Heavy wood on a dusty road

They drove the iron deep

Blood ran

Red and thick

Staining the limestone

Soldiers standing on guard

While the sun went black

The men are thirsty

Asking for a drink

It's finished

Chorus

He took the weight for me

He took the weight for me

The veil is torn in two

Old things have passed away

Life is starting new

He took the weight for me

Verse 2

In the garden

Silent in the early dew

Two women walking through the mist

Where is his body

The stone is rolled back to the grass

Linen strips lay on the floor

The tomb is empty

Death lost the fight

He is risen

Truly risen

He is gone

Chorus

He took the weight for me

He took the weight for me

The veil is torn in two

Old things have passed away

Life is starting new

He took the weight for me

Bridge

Thomas put his hand into the side

Peter ran to see the empty tomb

I am running to the morning light

Daybreak shining bright

The rays of the son conquer the night

No more chains

No more graves

No more fear

Chorus

He took the weight for me

He took the weight for me

The veil is torn in two

Old things have passed away

Life is starting new

He took the weight for me

Post-Chorus

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Open up the doors

Let the light come in

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Outro

Sunday morning

Everything is new

Walking home

With a brand new name

Sunday morning

Finally home
