WAY MAKER, PATH FINDER
Genre: Afrobeat × R&B × Inspirational Gospel Written by: Patrick Muzondi Makamo
Verse 1
I have walked through valleys, I have cried at night,
Carried dreams so heavy, searching for the light.
When every door was closed, and hope seemed far away,
You whispered to my spirit, "Child, I'm making a way."
The mountain looked so high, the river looked so wide,
But You stood before me, saying, "I am by your side."
Now I'm standing stronger than I have ever been,
Because the God who promised has already stepped in.
Pre-Chorus
When I cannot see tomorrow,
You are writing every page.
You never leave Your children,
Your love remains the same.
Chorus (Big Afrobeat Hook)
Way Maker! Path Finder!
You never leave me behind.
Mountain Mover, Promise Keeper,
Every blessing comes in Your time.
Way Maker! Path Finder!
You're opening impossible doors.
You go before me, You fight my battles,
Forever, forever, You're my Lord!
(Everybody sing!)
Way Maker!
Path Finder!
Jehovah goes before me!
Way Maker!
Path Finder!
Victory belongs to me!

Verse 2
The road may twist and turn, but I'm not afraid,
Because the King of Glory has already made the way.
No weapon formed against me will ever make me fall,
Your grace is my covering, You're greater than them all.
People may reject me, they may laugh today,
But You are turning every "No" into a brighter day.
My story isn't over, You've only just begun,
The race is not for many, but for those who never run.
---
Pre-Chorus
You are my direction,
My compass through the storm.
Every step I take now,
I'm safely in Your arms.

Chorus
Way Maker! Path Finder!
You never leave me behind.
Mountain Mover, Promise Keeper,
Every blessing comes in Your time.
Way Maker! Path Finder!
You're opening impossible doors.
You go before me, You fight my battles,
Forever, forever, You're my Lord!

Bridge (R&B Worship Section)
Before I arrive, You're already there.
Before I pray, You've already heard.
Before I fight, You've already won.
Before I cry, You've already come.
You're making rivers in the desert.
Highways in the wilderness.
Turning pain into a purpose,
Ashes into happiness.
I will trust You.
I will follow You.
Even when I cannot understand,
Your hand is leading me.

Dance Break (Afrobeat Chant)
Hey! Hey!
He's making a way!
Hey! Hey!
Every single day!
Lift your hands high!
Don't give up now!
The King of kings
Will show you how!
No more fear!
No more shame!
Jesus Christ has changed my name!
Victory! Victory!
I receive it!
Favor! Favor!
I believe it!
---
Final Chorus (Key Change)
Way Maker! Path Finder!
You're the Author of my life.
You turn every sorrow into dancing,
You replace my darkness with Your light.
Way Maker! Path Finder!
Forever I will testify.
Every dream You placed inside me
Will surely come alive.

Outro
When I cannot find the road...
You become my road.
When I cannot see the future...
You become my vision.
When I have no strength...
You become my power.
You're my Way Maker.
You're my Path Finder.
Yesterday, today, and forever.
Jesus, You will never fail.
(Fade Out)
Way Maker...
Path Finder...
Jesus leads me home...
Way Maker... Path Finder...
Forever, You are my song.
