Trading My Sorrows

I'm trading my sorrow
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

Chorus
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 pressed beyond the curse
For his promise will endure
That his joy's gonna be my strength

Bridge
Though the sorrow may
Last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
