lyrics
Weight of Sin
Jesus went out walking
On a gray and windy morning
And when he hit the Sea of Galilee
He kept right on going
And when they asked him how he did it
And why he didn’t drown
He said there ain’t nothing to it
Anyone can do it
You just learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
You gotta learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
He said this world will keep you guessing
And the road will take its toll
And the residue of living
Will leave its mark upon your soul
And when the wages of temptation
Get underneath your skin
You can let them turn your heart to stone
Or leave them in the wind
Now I will never walk on water
And I’ll never lose these blues
But I swear sometimes I feel
A little lighter in my shoes
And I am not a true believer
But baby I believe in you
And when I see myself reflected
In your eyes I’m resurrected
And I swear sometimes I feel a little lighter in my shoes
I swear sometimes I feel a little lighter in my shoes
Jesus kept on walking
Through the lightning and the thunder
And when he hit the Sea of Galilee
It did not take him under
And when they asked why the water
Didn’t pull him down
He said there ain’t nothing to it
Anyone can do it
You just learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
You gotta learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
Jesus went out walking
On a gray and windy morning
And when he hit the Sea of Galilee
He kept right on going
And when they asked him how he did it
And why he didn’t drown
He said there ain’t nothing to it
Anyone can do it
You just learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
You gotta learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
He said this world will keep you guessing
And the road will take its toll
And the residue of living
Will leave its mark upon your soul
And when the wages of temptation
Get underneath your skin
You can let them turn your heart to stone
Or leave them in the wind
Now I will never walk on water
And I’ll never lose these blues
But I swear sometimes I feel
A little lighter in my shoes
And I am not a true believer
But baby I believe in you
And when I see myself reflected
In your eyes I’m resurrected
And I swear sometimes I feel a little lighter in my shoes
I swear sometimes I feel a little lighter in my shoes
Jesus kept on walking
Through the lightning and the thunder
And when he hit the Sea of Galilee
It did not take him under
And when they asked why the water
Didn’t pull him down
He said there ain’t nothing to it
Anyone can do it
You just learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
You gotta learn to leave the weight of sin back on solid ground
