I am trading my sorrows,
I am trading my shame,
I am laying them down
for the joy of the Lord
I am trading my sickness,
I am trading my pain,
I am laying them down,
for the joy of the Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord
yes yes Lord
Amen
I am pressed but not crushed,
persecuted not abandon
Struck down but not destroyed,
I am blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure,
but His joy gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for a night
His joy comes in the morning
I am trading my sorrows,
I am trading my shame
I am laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I am trading my sickness,
I am trading my pain,
I am laying them down for the joy of the Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord
yes yes Lord
Amen !
