The first time heard this song, I got into tears I dint even understand the songs bcos I was a teenager and I was a Muslim. I dint even know why it moved me, I had no one to explain to bcos my parent were muslims. But now am proud to say I have finally laid my pain, tears,shame and my sicknesses down for the joy of the lord because I finally gave my life to Christ with no regrets periodt. Thank you Jesus!!!!!
God bless you brother. The song is so touching. Welcome to light and may the Almighty God keep, protect and bless you till we all meet Jesus Christ at the end. Shalom
Who is listening in 2024 like me......hallelujah... the power of rejection is powerless in my life in Jesus name..no pain, no sorrows for the Lord have come..glory be to God...Amen!!
If you grew up in a Christian home and worship still swells strong with you in 2024, give a shout of praise to the Lord of lords Christ Jesus for this song!❤
Its 2023, I'm here because this was my mother's favourite song, she passed away two years ago. Today our graduation list just came out and I am in. This is the first song I thought of, in memory of her and how she would have been happy about me finishing university.
I’ve been the most depressed I’ve ever been in my entire life the last few days. Yesterday I prayed for God’s unexplainable peace to abide with me. After not being able to sleep for the previous 2 consecutive nights, I slept like a baby last night. This morning while in the shower, this song randomly came to my mind and I just began singing and smiling (something I was too burdened down to do). The last time I sang this song was in my teens to early 20s (I’m turning 35 soon, just to give you context). The fact that I randomly remembered this song tells me God has traded in my pain, my shame, and my emptiness for peace of mind, for my joy, & my humanity. The fact that I feel (present tense) so at PEACE in spite of everything…it can only be GOD 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. If you’re going through anything, before you pick up that bottle or burn that bush or pop that pill or go incognito to release that stress, please, call on the name of Our Heavenly Father. Ask Him to give you HIS peace, the peace that transcends all understanding. And if nobody loves you, remember Jesus LOVES you (it’s not corny b/c it’s true).
My wife was a Muslim but she was very passionate about this spirit energising Christian song. I lost her a year ago. Anything I listened to this song I feel her spirit by me. My Juliet as. I always call her!

I woke up on the morning of April 24/2023 and I just wanted to listen to these beautiful songs by the amazing women of faith❤. I’ve got joy in my heart 💜.
God is good 😊 at first I couldn’t understand the song properly but with time I finally got to understand the whole song it’s so powerful and God took me from nowhere to where I am right now 😊 I’m nothing without him
Grew up in a poor Christian household, but with an extremely abusive Dad who I grew up terrified of. I remember getting beat up so bad one day that I had too many visible bruises even to go to school for about a week. My Mom was oblivious and/or refused to acknowledge what was going on. My parents used to put this song on at the house almost every weekend before taking me and my sibs to church back in the early 2000’s. I wondered what kind of loving God allowed this kind of pain to an innocent child, and believed He hated me. There was nothing joyful about the song; and I mentally associated it to my childhood PTSD. Thankfully, I haven’t had to listen to this and have constant flashbacks of my childhood until today.
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 Seems they’re talking to me.

My illness is a tumor which destroyed a lot in my life. But it won't bring me away from the Lord and I won't stop to praise him, for example with this nice worship song.

Me watching this song has brought some of my childhood memories back..when i used to sing and dance to this song's beats without really knowing the spiritual message behind. oh God you have really brought me far🎉🎉..Thank you ❤
2020 but been listening to this son for more than a decade and it doesn't get old because yes I might from time to time be crushed but not abandoned. God loves me and loves us all. Stay blessed and stay safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌿
this is one of my favorite song because i went through a tough time in secondry school, and I took these song 4 courage, so I trade on them and here I am celebrating ..
Since i heard this song in 2015 I can't get enough of it😢😢😢😢am laying them down ( the sorrow, sickness,and pain) for the joy of the lord, sorrow bye bye ..
I was lucky enough to attend WYD Panama 2019 and a black woman sang this song and taught us simplistic sign language dances to go along with the lyrics. This was at an English speaking conferences at which Bishop Barron and a few other speakers gave talks. If anyone else was there or thinks that they may know who this woman was please let me know. She was inspiring and the experience was truly life changing.
2022,this still remains my favorite song of all time 🙏🙏🙏,each time I go through shame ,i turn to God ,I ask him to take away the shame, each time I go through sorrow and pain,I look upto him my Jesus 🙏🙏🙏🙏.
