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
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 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 gonna be my strength
EThough the sorrow may Esuslast for a night,
His Gjoy comes with the Dmorning
