Lyrics

I’m (C)trad ing my (Em)sor (D)rows,

I’m (C)trad ing my (Em7)shame;

I’m (C)lay ing them (Em)down for the (D)joy of the (G)Lord.

I’m (C)trad ing my (Em)sick (D)ness,

I’m (C)trad ing my (Em)pain;

I’m (C)lay ing them (Em)down for the (D)joy of the (G)Lord.

We say (G)yes, Lord, (C)yes, Lord, (Em)yes, yes, (D)Lord.

(G)Yes, Lord, (C)yes, Lord, (Em)yes, yes, (D)Lord.

(G)Yes, Lord, (C)yes, Lord, (Em)yes, yes, (D)Lord, A (G)men.

I am (G)pressed but not (C)crushed, per se (Em)cut ed, not a (D)ban doned,

struck (C)down but not de (Em)stroyed.

I am blessed be yond the (C)curse, for His (Em)prom ise will en (D)dure, that His (G)joy is gon na (C)be my strength.

Though the sor row may (Dsus)last for the (D)night, His joy comes with the morn (C5)ing.

(G)men.
