I am trading my sorrows

I am trading my sorrows
I am trading my shame
I am laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I am trading my sickness I am trading my pain
I am laying them down for the joy of the Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord (3) Amen
I am oppressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
And His joy is gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
I am trading my sorrows
