Trading My Sorrows

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

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
That 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 (trading my sickness)
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down
For the joy of the Lord (oh yeah, great with You, 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

We say, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
We say, yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
We say, 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
That 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

Yeah
Come on start our feet to dancing
Put a new song in our heart, oh, God
A song of praise and hope

Ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (come on)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
(Let the children of God dance)

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 (big joy)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la

Yes Lord, yeah
Let's enjoy, be our strength again, Lord, yeah
