I’m Trading My Sorrows

I’m trading my sorrows I’m trading my shame
I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord
Yeah – spoken
I’m trading my sickness I’m trading my pain
I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord

Chorus:
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Amen

Bridge
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
That His joy’s gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
