The Best of the Trade
Oh the lord give me beauty for ashes And for sorrow he gave to me joy I was sad and oppressed, He exchanged it for rest, And a peace that the world can't destroy.
I traded my sins for salvation, I traded my load for relief; I got peace for my condemnation, And the joy of my Lord for my grief. I traded my life that was wasted, A temple to dwell in God made; I got so much more than I had before, That I'm sure I got the best of the trade.
I was poor and had nothing worth having, Disappointment had saddened my life; Now I'm rich as can be, Since He traded with me, Abundance of peace for my strife.
I traded my sins for salvation, I traded my load for relief; Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I got peace for my condemnation, And the joy of my Lord for my grief. I traded my life that was wasted, A temple to dwell in God made; I got so much more than I had before, That I'm sure I got the best of the trade.
I was restless, but God made me quiet, When I fully surrendered my all, He gave me comfort for my fear, Gave me smiles for my tears, As He lovingly heard when I called.
I traded my sins for salvation, I traded my load for relief; I got peace for my condemnation, And the joy of my Lord for my grief. I traded my life that was wasted, A temple to dwell in God made; I got so much more than I had before, That I'm sure I got the best of the trade
