Lyrics
Chorus
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
Bridge
He will make a way
By a roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and Earth will fade but His Word will still remain
He will do something new today
Chorus (x2)
Oh, God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

Meaning & Inspiration
“God Will Make a Way” by Don Moen is a song of trust when no path is visible. The chorus states that God will make a way where there seems to be no way, that He works in ways we cannot see and that He will be a guide, holding the singer close with love and strength for each new day.
The bridge turns to the promise in Isaiah: a roadway in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. It adds that heaven and earth will fade but His Word will still remain, and that He will do something new today. The wording is plain and repeated, so the song works as a prayer that a congregation can sing back in hard times.
The themes are close to Isaiah 43:19, Matthew 24:35 and Psalm 32:8, on a way in the wilderness, the lasting Word and God’s guidance. The tone is steady and hopeful.
