Verse (x2)
There is no problem too big God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall He cannot move it
And there is no storm too dark God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep He cannot soothe it
Chorus (x2)
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know my brother that He will carry you
And if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know my sister that He will carry you

Meaning & Inspiration
“He Will Carry You” by Scott Wesley Brown, also known as “If He Carried the Weight of the World,” is a song of reassurance built on a list of problems God can handle. The verse says no problem is too big for him to solve, no mountain too tall for him to move, no storm too dark for him to calm, and no sorrow too deep for him to soothe.
The chorus makes the argument that the verse sets up: if he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, then he will carry the listener. The singer speaks to “my brother” and “my sister,” which turns the song into encouragement from one believer to another.
The mountain and storm images are close to Matthew 17:20 and Mark 4:39, the weight carried on his shoulders recalls Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 53:4, and the invitation to bring burdens to him echoes 1 Peter 5:7. The tone is gentle, steady, and pastoral.
