Trading My Sorrows

This song popped into my head one day, and I haven't been able to get it out since. It has been a great encouragement to me, and has basically been my prayer since the miscarriage. Listen to it here (purchased legally from Napster).

Trading My Sorrows
By Delirious
I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
We say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen
I am pressed but not crushed
Persecuted, but not abandoned
Struck down, but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse,
For His promise will endure and
His joy will be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning.

amen sister! joy will come in the morning for you and your husband.
I've been learning that God takes things away from us sometimes, to give us something bigger and better.
