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, but not abandoned

struck down, but not destroyed

i am blessed beyond the curse,

for His promise will endure

and His joy will 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



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

yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord

yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, amen (2x)



i am pressed but not crushed

persecuted, but not abandoned

struck down, but not destroyed

i am blessed beyond the curse,

for His promise will endure

and His joy is 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 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 (2x)
