I'm trading my sorrow 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 Chorus 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 am pressed but not crushed Persecuted not abandoned Struck down but not destroyed I am pressed beyond the curse For his promise will endure That his joy's gonna be my strength Bridge Though the sorrow may Last for the night His joy comes with the morning
