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

And 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'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed

I'm blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

And 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

And we say, 'Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord'
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen'

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'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed

I'm blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

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

That the joy of the Lord
Come and be my strength again
[Incomprehensible]

Time will rather play with the Lord on high
[Incomprehensible]
For the new song in my heart

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, the joy

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord
