Trading Sorrows (Yes, Lord)

##

Darrell Evans

A        D         F#m  E    A       D       F#m  E
   I’m trading my sor––rows,   I’m trading my shame,
A       D           F#m          E          A     D   F#m   E
   I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord.
A        D         F#m  E    A       D       F#m  E
   I’m trading my sick-ness,   I’m trading my pain,
A       D           F#m          E          A     D   F#m   E
   I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord.

           A          D         F#m      E
We say   “Yes Lord,  yes Lord, yes, yes Lord,
 A         D         F#m      E
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord,
 A         D         F#m       E      A     D   F#m   E
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord, amen.”   (twice at end)

       A               D            F#m        E
I am pressed but not crushed, persecuted not abandoned,
A          D             F#m   E
   Struck down but not destroyed.
       A                 D               F#m           E
I am blessed beyond the curse, for His promise will endure
         A              D      F#m  E
That His   joy’s gonna be my strength.

E                         Es4          E
   Though the sorrow may last for the night,
        G                  D
   His joy comes with the morning.
