It’s been eight years now that I got lost at sea
Oh, not the voyage, I meant my life of grief
Another man’s wickedness threw me in a dungeon
So deep and dark I was as good as gone
I can’t forget but at least my pain is less
The darkness through which I found redemption, you can only guess
You can make lemonade from the lemons life throws at you
Lemons are good; I got pain that would make your eyes pop
I don’t have all the answers I want from God
But at long last, I came to trust His love
Maybe my faith still can’t say that all things work for good
Yet, I’ve come to strongly believe that God is good
The pain is quite gone and I feel at peace
He saved me from the path of suicide using pills
I can say now that he comforts me in my troubles
Down the years, He became the only one I could hold onto
His hands are not short to deliver and save
For me, it wasn’t the experience but the pain
But whether it’s the pain or the experience
A lot of His acts still don’t make sense
I guess it’s because He’s God and I’m man
And true, His thoughts differ from my plans
Even righteous Job was brought down to ashes
He’s testimony that I can get through the rough patches
It’s true that I still weep myself sore once a while
And it’s not because of what you think it is
How could Jesus forgive while being nailed to the cross?
He let go the one that thrust His side with the sword!
Crucified by the same ones he came to save
Denied by the people whose breath he owned
I don’t know it all, but I think I’m fine with that
And the best that I see now is still just a part
I have been crucified with Christ, yet I live
I may not understand it all, yet I forgive
It’s a choice I ultimately had to make
So the smile you see on my face now isn’t fake
I went through and came out at the other side
Through it all, He did with me abide
Over time the pain did fade away
God’s peace sure did find a way.
