That's the intro and is played until the "Yes Lord" part, then you can
start playing with the same rhythm "A - A - D - - - F#m - F#m - E" over
and over for almost the whole song except the very last part. You can
play the song fine with just strumming A twice then D once etc... but
it's much more fun to jazz it up a little bit. Here are the lyrics and
stuff...

A   D         F#m    E
I'm trading my sorrow
A   D         F#m   E
I'm trading my shame
A   D          F#m          E           A   D      F#m  E
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
A   D         F#m   E
I'm trading my sickness
A   D         F#m  E
I'm trading my pain
A   D          F#m          E           A   D      F#m  E
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

Chorus:
           A       D         F#m     E
And we say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
A       D         F#m     E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
A       D         F#m     E       A  D      F#m  E
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

    A              D            F#m         E
I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned
A       D             F#m    E
Struck down but not destroyed
    A                 D             F#m            E
I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
A        D               F#m    E
And his joy's gonna be my strength

E                    
Though the sorrow may last for the night
     G                   D
His joy comes with the morning...
