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

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

And 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

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"

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

That the joy of the Lord

Come and be my strength again

Time will rather play with the Lord on high

Send my feelings and then

For the new song in my heart

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, the joy

I'm trading my sorrows

I'm trading my shame

I'm laying them down

For the joy of the Lord
