Trading My Sorrows
Exchanging Pain for Joy: A Spiritual Journey Through 'Trading My Sorrows'
Lyrics
I'm trading my sorrows
Trading the negative emotions and difficulties in life.
I'm trading my shame
Exchanging feelings of shame and guilt for something positive.
I'm laying them down
Letting go of burdens and challenges.
For the joy of the Lord
Choosing the joy that comes from a spiritual connection with the Lord.
I'm trading my sickness
Swapping illness or negativity for a better state of being.
I'm trading my pain
Exchanging emotional or physical pain for something positive.
I'm laying them down
Letting go of troubles and challenges.
For the joy of the Lord
Finding joy in the spiritual connection with the Lord.
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Expressing affirmation and agreement with the Lord.
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
-Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen
-I'm pressed but not crushed
Experiencing challenges but not being defeated.
Persecuted not abandoned
Facing persecution but not feeling abandoned.
Struck down but not destroyed
Encountering setbacks but not being completely broken.
I am blessed beyond the curse
Feeling blessed despite challenges and curses.
For His promise will endure
Believing in the enduring nature of God's promises.
That His joy's gonna be my strength
Understanding that joy from the Lord provides strength.
Though sorrow may last for the night
Enduring sorrow with the expectation of joy returning.
His joy comes in the morning
Anticipating the arrival of joy after a period of sorrow.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, ...
