Chorus
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

Vamp
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord amen

Verse

I am pressed but not crushed
Persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For God’s promise will endure
God’s joy’s gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
Joy comes with the morning

Verse 1
I found peace in the river
I found peace by quiet streams
I found peace on the mountain
I found peace in fields of green

Verse 2
I found peace in the desert
I found peace in raging waves
And I found peace in the valley
I found peace in what You say

Chorus 1
Oh and I can fin’lly breathe again
I can fin’lly breathe again
(I can fin’lly breathe again)

Verse 3
I found peace in the chaos
I found peace in suffering
And I found peace in confusion
I found peace inside of me

Interlude
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo

Chorus 2
And I can fin’lly breathe again
I I can fin’lly breathe again
I can fin’lly breathe again

Verse 4
‘Cause I found You in the river
I found You in suffering
And I found You on the mountain
You were always around me

Reading……………………………………………………….Karen Stellmacher

Reading 1: John 14:23-29 (Inclusive Bible)

“Those who love me will be true to my word, and Abba God will love them; and we will come to them and make our dwelling place with them. Those who don’t love me don’t keep my words. Yet the message you hear is not mine; it comes from Abba God who sent me. This much have I said to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom Abba God will send in my name, will instruct you in everything and she will remind you of all that I told you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; but the kind of peace I give you is not like the world’s peace. Don’t let your hearts be distressed; don’t be fearful. You’ve heard me say, ‘I am going away but I will return.’ If you really loved me, you would rejoice because I am going to Abba God, for Abba is greater than I.  I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it happens you will believe.

Reading 2: Mahatma Gandhi

The day the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
