I’m trading my sorrows

Chorus 1
I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord, Amen
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord

Chorus 2
We say yes Lord, yes Lord
Yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord
Yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord
Yes, yes Lord Amen, Amen

Verse 1
I'm 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 is going to be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
The joy comes in the morning

Chorus 1
I'm trading my sorrows

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

Chorus 2x2

Verse 2
I'm blessed but not cursed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed

The joy comes in the morning
