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

So 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 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

So we say yes lord yes lord yes yes lord

Yes lord yes lord yes yes lord

Yes lord yes lord yes yes lord amen

Yo 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 my 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

Had the joy of the lord

Come and be my strength again

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
