~Chorus~
I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my sh-ame
I'm laying them down, for the joy of the L-ord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my p-ain
I'm laying them down, for the joy of the L-ord

~Chorus~

I am pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down, but not destr-oyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
That His joy is gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last through the night
His joy comes with the morning, yeah

~Chorus~

(Yes L-ord, yes yes Lord)
(3X)

(Yes L-ord, yes yes Lord)
(3X)
Am-en

H-ey
I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my sh-ame
I'm laying them down, for the joy of the L-ord
(Yes L-ord)

And I, I'm laying them down, for the joy of the L-ord
(Yes L-ord)
O-oh, I'm laying them down, for the joy of the L-ord
(Yes L-ord)

Yee, yee-ee

Hey hey h-ey
