I’m trading my sorrows
And I’m trading my shame
And I’m laying them down
For the joy of the Lord
And I’m trading my sickness
And I’m trading my pain
And I’m laying them down
For the joy of the Lord
And we say, Yes Lord Yes Lord Yes Yes Lord
Yes Lord Yes Lord Yes Yes Lord
Yes Lord Yes Lord Yes Yes Lord Amen
I’m pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I’m blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
And his joy’s gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
I’m trading my sorrow …
