God Will Make a Way
by Don Moen
Theology & Meaning
One of the most recognized promises-based worship songs of the contemporary era. Draws on Isaiah 43's 'I am making a way in the wilderness' to affirm that God opens paths where none seem to exist. The song ministers most to those in impossible circumstances—its theology is hope grounded in God's track record.
Worship Leadership Tips
Extremely versatile—works for prayer services, messages on provision, hospital and care-home contexts, or any gathering where people carry crushing burdens. Don Moen's simple, pastoral style invites genuine faith responses rather than emotional manipulation.
Arrangement Tips
Piano and soft acoustic guitar. Light pads throughout. Gentle rhythm if any—brushes only. This song is about comfort and faith, not energy. The melody is the message; don't compete with it. Ends best on a sustained piano chord with silence.
