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
And I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord, yeah Lord
And I'm trading my sickness
And I'm trading my pain
And I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
For the joy of the Lord
I say, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen
I say now
I say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord, Amen
Amen, Amen
And I'm trading my sorrows
And I'm trading my shame
And I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
For the joy of the Lord, yes
And I'm trading my sickness
And I'm trading my pain
And I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
Your joy, Your, Your joy, Your joy
And I'm trading my sorrows
And I'm trading my shame
And I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord
Your joy
