Forrest Frank - LEMONADE Lyrics
Lyrics
The love of God has got me clean, no Old Spice
That desert I was in was deep (Deep), so dry
But now I'm out here feeling free (I'm feeling free), so fly
I'm chillin' in the shade
Life gave me some lemons
But my Jesus, He be makin' lemonade (Aha), lemonade
My Jesus making lemonade (Aha), lemonade
I watch my worries wash a-way, lemonade
It's gonna be okay
Life gave me some lemons
But my Jesus, He be makin' lemonade (Okay)
Made it with that living water (Woah)
Spirit, Son, Holy Father
Devil thought he really got us
I guess he just forgot that
God works everything for better
No matter what the weather
He knits it all together
Cozier than a sweater (Ohh)
You're lighter than a feather (So light)
Just thinkin' 'bout the things You've done (Done)
You mix the sour with the sweet (Sweet)
And that's the perfect remedy (Haha)
The love of God has got me clean, no Old Spice
That desert I was in was deep (Deep), so dry
But now I'm out here feeling free (I'm feeling free), so fly
I'm chillin' in the shade
Life gave me some lemons
But my Jesus, He be makin' lemonade (Aha), lemonade
My Jesus making lemonade (Aha), lemonade
I watch my worries wash a-way, lemonade
It's gonna be okay
Life gave me some lemons
But my Jesus, He be makin' lemonade
(Lemonade)
Sweet like sugarcane on a summer day
Ain't my Jesus better than the words I could ever say
Promised that the great (The great), the good (The good)
The bad would come along
'Cause if life is always easy
Probably doing something wrong (Probably doing something wrong)
He comforts in the sorrow, He's giving in the loss
He stole the shame I carried and wore it on the cross (He wore it on)
Providing me a future and manna for today
Life tried to give me lemons
But my Jesus makin' lemonade
Lemonade
My Jesus makin' lemonade (My Jesus makin' lemonade, yeah)
Lemonade
I watch my worries wash a-way, lemonade
It's gonna be okay
Life gave me some lemons
But my Jesus, He be makin' lemonade
Old Spice
He's always makin' lemonade
Hmm
Lemonade

Meaning & Inspiration
Forrest Frank's single, "LEMONADE," released on August 1st, 2025, is a vibrant testament to finding joy and resilience in faith, even when life presents its bitter challenges. The song's central metaphor, transforming life's lemons into lemonade, is deeply rooted in the Christian belief that God can redeem hardship and bring good from difficult circumstances. Frank’s message centers on the transformative power of Jesus Christ, suggesting that this divine intervention is the ultimate sweetener, making life's inevitable sour moments palatable and even beneficial. He paints a picture of having emerged from a spiritually parched "desert" into a state of freedom and peace, a stark contrast to past struggles. This liberation is attributed not to personal effort or earthly comforts, as evidenced by the casual dismissal of Old Spice, but to the profound, cleansing love of God. The repetitive chorus acts as an affirmation, a reminder that no matter the adversity, faith in Jesus ensures that a positive outcome, a "lemonade," is always being made.
The lyrical content deeply resonates with scriptural themes of God's redemptive power and faithfulness. The idea of "living water" directly alludes to Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:10-14, where He offers water that springs up into eternal life. Frank's assertion that God "works everything for better" echoes Romans 8:28, a cornerstone verse for believers facing trials, stating, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." The imagery of being "knitted together" evokes Psalm 139:13, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb," highlighting God's intimate involvement in every aspect of our lives, even our struggles. Furthermore, the mention of Jesus taking on shame and wearing it on the cross directly references His atoning sacrifice, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:21: "For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him." This sacrifice is presented as the ultimate act of turning bitterness into sweetness, enabling believers to receive comfort in sorrow and provision in loss, as prophesied in Isaiah 61:3, where God promises to provide for those who grieve, beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for despair. The song's optimistic outlook, that "it's gonna be okay," is a direct echo of the promises found throughout Scripture, assuring believers of God's unwavering presence and ultimate victory over hardship. Frank's musical offering is a powerful encouragement to trust in this divine process, even when the taste of life's challenges is undeniably bitter.
