Trading My Sorrows By Darrel Evans With Chords and Lyrics

Last Sunday, we sung in the church Trading My Sorrows by Darrel Evans. I first heard this song in a youth camp more than a decade ago.This post comes with chords and lyrics.

As we sing it, I feel like God is telling us, “go and trade your sorrows for the joy that only comes from Me.” And yes, it is the best that we can ever do in times of our sorrows, we need to give it to God. It’s been very touching last week because it was during those times that we had our great sorrows. Some friends died, problems arises, trials and conflicts emerged.

And there is only one thing that we can do… trade it for the joy of the Lord.

Trading My Sorrows

by Darrel Evans

G     C2             Em   D
 I'm trading my sorrows
G     C2             Em   D
 I'm trading my shame
 G     C2              Em
 Im laying them down
             D             G   C2  Em  D
 For the joy of the Lord
G     C2             Em   D
 I'm trading my sickness
 G     C2             Em   D
 I'm trading my pain
G     C2                Em
 I'm laying them down
             D             G   C2  Em  D
 For the joy of the Lord

           G              C2          Em       D
We say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
 G            C2        Em           D
yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
 G            C2         Em       D      G    C2  Em D
yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord  Amen

          G                     C2
I am pressed but not crushed
  Em                     D
Persecuted not abandoned
G                   C2          Em    D
Struck down but not destroyed
         G                            C2
I am blessed beyond the curse
                 Em              D
For his promise will endure
              G                C2       Em   D
That his joy's ganna be my strength
  D                                  G                D
Though the sorrow may last for the night
       F                          C
His joy comes in the morning
