Michael W. Smith – “Way Maker” Share Worthy Song

There are songs that don’t just get sung in churches—they spill out into streets, hospitals, and protests. “Way Maker” is one of those songs. Written by Nigerian gospel artist Sinach in 2015, it became a global anthem of hope, covered by artists like Michael W. Smith, Leeland, Mandisa, and Passion. Smith’s live version, recorded at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, turned into a seven‑minute wave of worship that swept across the world. (If you’d like to here this version see below feature)

The lyrics are simple, but they carry the weight of eternity: Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness—my God, that is who You are.

I’ve had seasons where I couldn’t see a way forward. Times when shame, regret, or loss made the future feel like a wall I couldn’t climb. But this song reminds me that God doesn’t just make a way—He is the Way. Even when I don’t see it, He’s working. Even when I don’t feel it, He’s moving.

That’s not just a lyric—it’s scripture. Isaiah 43:16 says, “This is what the Lord says—he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters.” In other words, the God who split the Red Sea for His people is reminding us: if He could do the impossible then, He can do the impossible now. Just a few verses later He promises, “See, I am doing a new thing… I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:19). And in John 14:6, Jesus declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” The God who once parted the waters is the same God who still makes a way today.

What makes “WayMaker” share‑worthy is that it’s not tied to one culture, one language, or one moment. It’s been sung in English, Italian, Spanish, and countless others. It’s been lifted outside hospitals during the pandemic, at protests for justice, and in living rooms where people needed hope. It’s a song that unites the brokenhearted with the promise that God is still faithful.

So share this song. Share it with the friend who feels stuck, the one who thinks there’s no way forward, the one who needs to be reminded that God is still a miracle worker. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can give someone isn’t advice—it’s a song that points them back to the One who makes a way where there is no way.
