Michael W. Smith - Waymaker ft. Vanessa Campagna & Madelyn Berry
Meaning & Inspiration
Michael W. Smith's "Waymaker," released on February 5, 2019, with features from Vanessa Campagna and Madelyn Berry, is a powerful declaration of God’s unwavering presence and capability in all circumstances. More than just a song, it serves as a profound theological statement, echoing ancient truths about the divine nature of Jesus Christ. The core message resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of God as our provider, protector, and ultimate solution, a theme woven throughout Scripture from the earliest narratives of creation to the prophetic promises of restoration. This song directly speaks to the character of God as revealed in passages like Isaiah 43:16, which proclaims, “I am the Lord, who opened a way through the sea, the path through the mighty waters.” This verse, and indeed the entire narrative of the Exodus, vividly illustrates God’s role as the one who makes the impossible possible.
The scriptural foundation for "Waymaker" is robust, drawing heavily on the concept of God’s faithfulness and His ability to create paths where none seem to exist. The song's affirmation of God as a miracle-worker aligns directly with the testimony of faith found in Hebrews 11:6, stating, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” This pursuit of God, recognizing Him as the source of all good and the sustainer of life, is central to the song’s encouraging message. Furthermore, the title itself, "Waymaker," directly reflects Jesus’ own assertion in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." This profound statement positions Jesus not just as a guide, but as the very access to God, the one who literally opens the way to salvation and eternal life. The song’s ability to evoke a sense of hope and resilience is a testament to its scriptural accuracy, reminding believers that even in the darkest valleys, God is actively at work, a truth echoed in Psalm 23:4: “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” "Waymaker" effectively captures this comforting, ever-present reality of God’s redemptive power and His promise to never leave us nor forsake us.
