Trading My Sorrows

I'm trading my sorrows I'm trading my shame I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord I'm trading my sickness I'm trading my pain I'm laying it 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 That His joy is going to be my strength Though the sorrows may last for the night His joy comes with the morning!
