A   D         F#m    E
I'm trading my sorrows
A   D         F#m   E
I'm trading my shame
A    D          F#m          E          A D F#m  E
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord


A   D         F#m    E
I'm trading my sickness
A   D          F#m  E
I'm trading my pain
A   D         F#m          E          A   F#m  E
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord


       A        D        F#m     E
We say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord

A        D        F#m     E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord

A        D        F#m     E    A  D F#m  E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

A                    D           F#m              
I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not
   E
 abandoned
A       D           F#m    E
Struck down but not destroyed
      A                  D             F#m    
I am blessed beyond the curse for his promise
        E
will endure
         A           D     F#m    E
That his joy's gonna be my strength
E                      Esus4       E
Though the sorrow may last for the night
    G                  D 
His joy comes with the morning
