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 Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen
Pressed but not crushed
I'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For his promise will endure
His joy is going to be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
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
And 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 Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen yes Lord
We sing, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen
Pressed but not crushed
I'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For his promise will endure
His joy is going to be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
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, oh
And I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
And I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen yes Lord
We sing, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen
