Trading My Sorrows

I'm trading my sorrow

 I'm trading my shame

 I'm laying it 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

 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
