When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

The popular mantra is the basis for Forrest Frank’s new song, Lemonade. Only he gives it a twist. Jesus is the One making lemonade out of the lemons life has handed you.

The premise is biblical.

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. Romans 8:28

How many times has God used an absolute disaster in my life for His glory? Whether I was victim or perpetrator, He can use it all for good.

This week’s focus is on letting go of all the things that have turned your heart sour. Family estrangements, gossipmongers, physical pain, financial burdens…lay them all at the foot of the cross and let God make lemonade!

Lemonade, Forrest Frank (2025)

Made it with that living water (whoa)
Spirit, Son, Holy Father
The 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 (oh)
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
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, lemonade
My Jesus making lemonade, lemonade
I watch my worries wash away, lemonade
It’s gonna be okay
Life gave me some lemons
But my Jesus, He be makin’ lemonade
