I'm trading my sorrow I'm trading my shame I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness I'm trading my pain I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord
Chorus: 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
