The Joy of the Lord

It’s already day 10 of the 40 days of Lent. With everything that has been happening in the life of our church and everything happening in the world, these last 10 days have felt super long to me. I needed some refreshment for my soul, and God came through for me this morning.
 
Here is one of my favorite worship songs by Darrell Evans called Trading My Sorrows. It is not the most complex song in the world, but sometimes we just need a bop! These lyrics were living water for your soul today. Also, read 2 Corinthians 4:7-11.
 
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, not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
His joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes in the morning
 
Pastor Mike has an incredibly timely and important message for us on Sunday morning. You do not want to miss worship this Sunday. Hope to see you in sanctuary. If you can’t be in person, shoot me a text with a YES, LORD to 850-544-7087.
 
In His Grip,
