##(Verse 1)
I'm
 pressed but not
 crushed, 
Pers
ecuted not 
abandoned,
 Struck
 down but not de
stroyed
.

##(Verse 2)
I am
 blessed beyond the
 curse 
For His
 promise will e
ndure,
And that His
 joy's gonna
 be my
 strength.

##(Verse 3)
 Though the sorrow may
 last for the
 night,
His
 joy comes with the
 morning.

##(Chorus 1)
 I'm
 trading my
 sor
rows,
 I'm
 trading my
 sha
me,
 I'm
 laying them
 down for the
 joy of the
 Lord
.
 I'm
 trading my
 sic
kness,
 I'm
 trading my
 pain
,
 I'm
 laying them
 down for the
 joy of the
 Lord
.
