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
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
I 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,
That His joy is going to be my strength
Though the sorrows may last through the night
His joy comes with the morning, yeah
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
I say
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Amen
I 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,
That His joy is going to be my strength
Though the sorrows may last through the night
His joy comes with the morning, yeah
I'm trading my sorrows, I'm trading my shame,
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (for the joy of the Lord, yeah)
I'm trading my sickness, I'm trading my pain,
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (for the joy of the Lord)
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
