Lyrics
Verse 1
Some days high end, some days low
But I will not give up, no I won't let go
I know God will make a way for me
I see troubles on the left, troubles on the right
Trusting in You God I know I will be alright
I know God will make a way for me
Chorus
You are God of the valley
The mountains and the sea
I will not worry
You will make a way for me
Verse 2
The God of the valley, the mountain and the sea
I will not worry, You will make a way for me
I will call almighty to provide a way for me
You will stand I will believe
So when my eyes can't see deep down I believe
If You can part the mountains
You can drop a ? for me
You will make a way for me
Verse 3
Father You have never once failed me
Kept my family You will fight for me
You are Jehovah Nissi
You will never let your man to fail
I know You will take good care of me
Chorus (Repeat)
The God of the valley, the mountain and the sea
I will not worry, You will make a way for me
I will call almighty to provide a way for me
You will stand I will believe
Bridge
Anything thing He answers will prosper
Anywhere You plan Lord there I will go
Chorus (Repeat)
You are God of the valley, the mountain and the sea
I will not worry, You will make a way for me
I will call almighty to provide a way for me
You will stand I will believe

Meaning & Inspiration
“Make a Way” by Jermaine Edwards is a song of trust in hard circumstances. It opens by admitting that some days are high and some are low, and then refuses to give up: “I know God will make a way for me.” Troubles are on the left and on the right, yet the singer trusts that all will be well.
The chorus names God as the God of the valley, the mountains, and the sea, and the singer says there is no reason to worry. The mention of parting the mountains is close to the crossing of the sea in Exodus 14, and the promise of a way where none is visible echoes Isaiah 43:19. The second verse thanks the Father for never failing and for keeping the family, and it calls Him Jehovah Nissi, the name Moses gave an altar in Exodus 17:15, meaning the Lord is my banner.
The bridge commits to going wherever God plans. The song’s message is confidence that God provides a path when sight runs out, offered in a relaxed, hopeful tone.
