Let's Trade

Everyday is market day But I rarely come your way I have a glimpse of what you have at bay They glow and glitter from your better ray And so I will never want to delay But hurry in ways come what may And reach your trademark everyday Let’s trade When I look round, round and around… Before we trade I hear this sound That you will turn my life around And so I walk right in your compound Hoping to find all and be found I’d like to trade on a sober ground To give you my all that’s less profound I’ll give them to you in pounds after a pound So, let’s trade For sure, I’ve been so afraid Afraid to face my fears and trade With you I’ll get more than a fair trade Coz what I see on your side are a quality grade All that you alone have wonderfully made Give me that sufficient grace in wider spade And a whole shelf of love that doesn’t fade Yes, yes, yes I will have them paid Carry them along, alone without a maid Because that’s all that Your Word has said Let’s trade I stand right in front of you with this- garbage It is my burden that you engaged in gauge You see how heavy it is for my age And that’s why I open this brand new page To capture and record this trade’s advantage You hawk and shout out loud God’s real image How nice does that now fit my innocent age I am just to stop this kind of camouflage To evade this cage that is coiled within an orphanage My all life on my own I can’t and wouldn’t manage So come and help me offload this long, long luggage And promise me that you will uphold your old adage Let’s trade I take Your joy take my pain, let’s trade Give me Your eyes take mine, let’s trade Handle my hunger with Your word, let’s trade Just lift me up when I’m down, let’s trade Dry my tears when I’m crying, let’s trade I give You my darkness for your light, let’s trade In my weakness my Jesus show me strength, let’s trade I cast my burdens and cares, let’s trade I give You my all for Your joy, let’s trade I lay my all at your feet, let’s trade Let’s trade, let’s trade, let’s trade…
