1- I'm trading my sorrows I'm trading my shame I'm laying them down For the joy of the Lord 2- I'm trading my sickness I'm trading my pain I'm laying them down For the joy of the Lord 3- Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord Amen. 4- I'm pressed but not crushed Persecuted not abandoned Struck down but not destroyed I'm blessed beyond the curse For his promise will endure That His joy's gonna be my strength 5- Though the sorrow my last for the night His joy comes in the morning
