When life gives lemons make lemonade
That\u2019s what they told me to do.
They didn\u2019t address the heartache,
The rawness of my broken heart.
I was supposed to just deal with it.
So that\u2019s what I did.
I put on a smile, I laughed,
and shrugged it off with humor.
That\u2019s what they saw.
What they couldn\u2019t see was the guilt.
They couldn\u2019t see the sleeplessness,
The pain that plague me every night.
Oh those lonely nights!
They couldn\u2019t see the hope I lost,
And how much I hunged on.
The broken dreams, the broken relationships.
They couldn\u2019t see it, because they wouldn\u2019t.
They wouldn\u2019t see, so when I changed,
they didn\u2019t understand why.
They didn\u2019t get why I became stronger,
Why I no longer looked to men,
But instead looked to God.
Because my God understood,
And my God saw it all.
I didnt have to pretend with him,
He drew me close with every tear.
He gave me hope, when I had none,
And put a new song in my heart to sing.
It\u2019s because of my Jesus I am here today.
He is my hope, my song, my all!
He takes my lemons and uses it for His glory!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
