I'm 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 it 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'm pressed but not crushed persecuted but not abandoned

Struck down but not destroyed

I am blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure

That his joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night

His joy comes with the morning
