Trading My Sorrows

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

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 am pressed but not crushed
Persecuted, not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
His joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes in the morning

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

We say
Yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, yes, Lord
Amen

We say
Yes, Lord

Yes, yes, Lord

Yes, yes, Lord
Amen

We say
Yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, Lord
Yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord

Yes, yes, Lord
Amen
