When the ground beneath my feet
Is shaking like a leaf
God You're still good to me
When my hope is all but gone
And I'm barely hanging on
God You're still good to me
When my heart can't find the beat
When it's dark and I can't see
I will put my hope in You
I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade to God be the glory
To God be the glory
I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade let this be my story
To God be the glory
You love me at my best
You love me in my mess
God You're so good to me
There's one thing I am sure
Your promises endure
You make a way for me
When my heart can't find the beat
When it's dark and I can't see
I will put my hope in You
I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade to God be the glory
To God be the glory
I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade let this be my story
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
And whatever comes my way
I will always praise Your name
I will put my hope in You
When I run into Your courts
I will fall into Your arms
I will sing a song of praise
I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade to God be the glory (forever and ever)
To God be the glory
I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade let this be my story (forever and ever)
To God be the glory
I'll trade ashes for beauty
I'll trade joy for my mourning
I'll trade to God be the glory
To God be the glory
I'll trade strength for my weakness
I'll trade pain for my healing
I'll trade let this be my story
Let this be my story
To God be the glory
