[Chorus]
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

We say yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Amen

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
