God Will Make A Way
by Don Moen 





     Today, the whole world is battling out with the COVID19 virus. COVID19 has claimed a lot of precious lives in different parts of the world. The effect of the pandemic has reached even in every country's economy resulting to people losing their jobs. Our daily lives had been warped through each different lockdown being implemented in each countries.This is truly a dark time for us in 2020... 

    "God Will Make a Way" by Don Moen is a timely encouragement for us during this challenging time of COVID19. COVID19 virus is like the "wilderness", in the lyrics of the song. The virus has become the wilderness that the whole world needs to pass through. While in the midst of the wilderness, it gives us the feeling of uncertainty, a life full of danger and endless fears that are being fueled by countless deaths around the world. A wilderness that makes us feel very lost and helpless. However, through all these uncertainties, danger, fear, helplessness and being lost there is one thing that is certain , constant and definite in this world.And that is God! God is the only one who doesn't change throughout this situation. He is in control. We are certain that God will be helping us. He will be our guide, leading us through the wilderness to our safety. When it seems that there is no way to go through a problem as dark as it may seem , God will pave us a way. We might not see it, but God is working non-stop to help us with our problems in our lives. God would certainly and definitely make a way for us! 

     Let us thank God for His assurance of love for us and for always leading us out from our own wilderness in life. We should always have hope for the better days that God has prepared ahead of us. Let's keep praying to God and be faithful that he will end the disease that has put the whole world into an uncharted situation. 


      I hope you will enjoy and be encouraged in my piano cover of God Will Make a Way!


Prayer

Lord
     Help us during these challenging times Lord. Please be our guide to lead us out of this wilderness of COVID19. Though we can't see it, we know that you working to end this problem of the whole world. Thank you for your constant love for us Lord. Help us to remember that whenever there might be no way through our troubles, you will make a way through them for us. Protect us always, in Jesus name, I pray, Amen.


See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:19


God Will Make a Way

By Don Moen


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
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
And He will do something new today
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
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
And He will do something new today
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
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way
