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 them 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...
