Coro
Cambiar? mi tristeza
Cambiar? mi verg?enza
Los entregar? por el gozo de Dios
Cambiar? mi dolor
Y mi enfermedad
Los entregar? por el gozo de Dios
S? Se?or s? s?? Se?or
S? Se?or s? s?? Se?or
S? Se?or s?? s? Se?or
Am?n
Estando atribulado pero nunca derrotado
Y perseguido est? hoy
Maldiciones no me afectan
Pues yo s? a quien voy
En Su gozo fuerte soy
Aunque triste en la noche yo est?
Gozo viene en la ma?ana
(Coro)

Meaning & Inspiration
Cambiaré Mis Tristezas turns sorrow, shame, pain, and sickness into an offering exchanged for the joy of God. Its repeated affirmation of “Sí, Señor” gives the song the character of a public confession, while the central exchange expresses trust that hardship does not have final authority. The lyric does not pretend that affliction and persecution are absent; instead, it places endurance within confidence in God.
The verses closely echo Paul’s description of being troubled and persecuted without being crushed or abandoned. They also draw on the psalmist’s contrast between nighttime sorrow and morning joy. The declaration that divine joy supplies strength recalls Nehemiah’s encouragement to a grieving people. Together, these themes make the song an expression of resilient praise: suffering is named honestly, yet faith answers it with surrender, hope, and agreement with God’s goodness.
