As We Worship...

I'm tradin' my sorrows

I'm tradin' my shame

I'm layin' them down

for the joy of the Lord

I'm tradin' my sickness

I'm tradin' my pain

I'm layin' them down

for the joy of the Lord

I am pressed but not crushed

Persecuted, not abandoned

Struck down but not destroyed

I am blessed beyond the curse

for His promise will endure

that His joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow

may last for the night

His joy comes in the mornin'

What an exciting song of celebration for what Christ has done in our lives! What a great trade! In fact, you'd be a fool not to make that trade right? Let's remember as we gather on Sunday to worship, that there are those among us who have "scales" covering the eyes of their heart, and who haven't experience the joy and salvation that Christ brings. So, let's sing out in worship with all of our hearts, not only to our Savior and Creator, but also as a testimony of God's faithfulness to those around us.
