The Lord gave 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 this world can't destroy

I traded my sins for salvation
And a temple to dwell in God made
I got so much more than I had before
I sure got the best of the trade

I traded my sins for salvation
I traded my load for relief
I got peace for my condemnation
And the joy of the Lord for my grief
I traded a life that was wasted
For a temple to dwell in, God made
I got so much more than I had before
I sure got the best of the trade.
