consumed by avarice
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!"
well I'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
well 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!
"Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord"
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen!"
well I'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame

"Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord"
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen!"
ohh I say "Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord"
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen!"
I used to close my eyes and pray the time would pass me by
So I could fly away in my dreams to anywhere unreal
And I'd hide away from everything
I didn't know what was real, I didn't know the truth
There was a day when somebody introduced me to You
And You breathed Your life in me
You set me free...
Now I'll shout it from a mountain
That I'm not the same that I used to be
I believe in God, believe in God!
I'm not ashamed to talk about it
To a world that slowly slips away
That I believe in God, believe in God!
Now at the end of the day when nothing seems to go my way
I've got a friend, I've got a life that's never gonna let me go
Since You gave Your life for me
You set me free...
Now I'll shout it from a mountain
That I'm not the same that I used to be
I believe in God, believe in God!
I'm not ashamed to talk about it
To a world that slowly slips away
That I believe in God, believe in God!
Oh, when I feel so alone
He comes to sweetly say
It's all gonna be okay!
Oh, when my emotions flow
He comes to sweetly say
It's all gonna be okay!
Oh, when I feel so alone
He comes to sweetly say
It's all gonna be okay!
Oh, when my emotions flow
He comes to sweetly say
It's all gonna be okay!
Now I'll shout it from a mountain
Now I'll shout it from a mountain
Now I'll shout it from a mountain
That I'm not the same that I used to be
I believe in God, believe in God!
I'm not ashamed to talk about it
To a world that slowly slips away
That I believe in God, believe in God!
Now I'll shout it from a mountain
That I'm not the same that I used to be
I believe in God, believe in God!
I'm not ashamed to talk about it
To a world that slowly slips away
That I believe in God, believe in God!
