Trading My Sorrows

I'm trading my sorrows

And I'm trading my shame

And I'm laying it down

For the joy of the Lord

And I'm trading my sickness

And I'm trading my pain

I'm laying it, laying it, laying it down

For the joy of the Lord

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'm pressed but not crushed

Persecuted, not abandoned

Struck down but not destroyed

And I am blessed beyond the curse

For His promise will endure

That His joy is going to be my strength

Though my sorrows may last for the night

His joy comes with the morning

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

Joy is here, wake up

Joy is here, wake up

Joy is here, wake up

Joy is here, wake up

Joy is here, wake up

Joy is here, wake up

Joy is here, wake up

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

Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord

Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord

Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord

Amen

Yes yes Lord, Amen

Yes yes Lord, Amen

Yes yes Lord, Amen

Yes yes Lord, Amen

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, yeah

Glory, glory, Hallelujah

.. laying my burden down

Glory, glory, Hallelujah

.. I lay my burden down
