From the recording Illuminate
Lyrics
Darrell Evans<br />
<br />
I’m trading my sorrows<br />
I’m trading my shame<br />
I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord<br />
I’m trading my sickness<br />
I’m trading my pain<br />
I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord<br />
<br />
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord<br />
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord<br />
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord, amen<br />
<br />
I am pressed, but not crushed<br />
Persecuted, not abandoned<br />
Struck down, but not destroyed<br />
I am blessed beyond the curse<br />
For His promise will endure<br />
That His joy’s gonna be my strength<br />
Though the sorrow may last for the night<br />
His joy comes with the morning<br />
<br />
