I'm trading my sorrows
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
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, but not abandoned
struck down, but not destroyed
i am blessed beyond the curse,
for His promise will endure
and His joy will be my strength
though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning.
I'm trading my sorrows
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
We say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, amen (2x)
i am pressed but not crushed
persecuted, but not abandoned
struck down, but not destroyed
i am blessed beyond the curse,
for His promise will endure
and His joy is going to be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning.
I'm trading my sorrows
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 (2x)There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the seven bridges road
There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of time sweet in honey
Down the seven bridges road
