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~
We say, yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes L-ord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord amen
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
And His joy’s gonna be my str-ength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the mornin’
Uh huh
(Repeat 1st verse)
Yeah
(Repeat 2nd verse)
~Chorus~
(2X)
(Repeat 3rd verse)
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the mornin’
Y-eah
(Repeat 1st verse)
Amen, y-eah
(Repeat 2nd verse)
(Y-eah)
(Whoah whoah whoah)
(The joy of the Lord will be my strength)
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
(2X)
O-h o-oh o-oh
Time to run and play with the Lord
Set my feet a dancin’
Put a new song in my heart
Y-eah
