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, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord amen
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, not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am 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 (Your joy)
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 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 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
Amen, amen
I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (for Your joy oh Lord)
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (Your joy, Your joy, Your joy)
I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (Your joy)
