In Between



Sometime in between Mother's Day


and Father's Day


I was thinking about what never really was


and never would be


After much needed rest


and an adjustment


or two

a decision was made...


I'm trading my sorrow

I'm trading my shame

I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord


I'm trading my sickness

I'm trading my pain

I'm laying it 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


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



Trading My Sorrows
