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

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

And his joy's going to 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 Pain

I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

I'm trading my sickness

I'm trading my shame

I'm laying them down for the joy of the 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

And his joy's going to be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night

His joy comes with the morning
