Trading My Sorrows in ASL & CC by Rock Church Deaf Ministry

Welcome! God has put it on our hearts to record these videos so Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people can have access to worship music in their language, whenever they want. The focus is to engage in worshipping God together, not “performing” ASL. The sign choices are deliberate and were chosen so that they can be easily followed with the captioning. We pray God will use these videos to bless you in your daily life with the Lord, and more importantly, bless Him! Enjoy!

Lyrics: Trading My Sorrows by Micah Blalock & The WC Student Band

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

And 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’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

And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord Amen…

Well I’m 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 is gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night his joy comes in the morning…

And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord Amen…

And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord Amen…

And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord Amen…
