The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow
Hezekiah Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like A ship that's tossed and driven,
Led by an angry sea
When the storms of life are raging,
And the spirit falls on me
I wonder what I have done
To make this race so hard to run

Solo: then i say to my soul, soul take courage

Chior: lord will make a way some how

Solo: because i know that he will

Repeat chorous

Solo: then I say to my soul,
Soul take courage

See this jurney may not be easy
You did not say that it would be
Sometimes i get so lonely and dishearted,
Oooo lord, and I just dont wanna be bothered
Then i began to think
Lord what have i done,
To make this race so hard for me to run
Then i say to my soul,
Soul take courage

Chior: Lord will make a way somehow

Because i know that he will come through

Repeat solo

Chior: Lord willmake a way somehow

Solo: i know that he'll make a way
Somehow, somehow..., somehow...

Chior sings 'Somehow' in between each ad lib

Oh you remember that somehow
I know he's comin thorough
Ohh somehow
Yea, yea.
Ooo somehow (3)
He's comin thor for you and me
It may not be today it may not be tomorrow
But hes comin through somehow
Cause he just god like that
He never let you down before (2)
You cant thrw in the towel
Cause ge gonna make a way
Oooo
I know hes gonna make a way
Somehow... somehow...
He did it for daniel, in thelions den
He did it for the hebrew boys, in the firey furance
He did it for mary and martha, when he raised lazarus from the dead
Dont forget about the five thousand, hungry souls he fed
Ooooolord

Just a minute here we gone begin to think about the things that he's done for us

Overall Meaning

The song “The Lord Will Make a way Somehow” by Hezekiah Walker and The Love Fellowship Choir speaks about the difficult times and struggles that one goes through in life. The lyrics compare life’s journey to that of a ship being tossed and driven in the sea of storms. The spirit falls on us when the storms of life are raging and we wonder what we have done to make the race so hard to run. The soloist sings to their soul to take courage as they know that the Lord will make a way somehow. The journey may not be easy, but they are confident that God will come through for them. The soloist exemplifies their faith in God’s ability to make a way for them by recalling the times God intervened and made a way for others who were in difficult situations like Daniel, the Hebrew boys, Mary, Martha, and the five thousand hungry souls that were fed. The song ends with the choir repeatedly singing “somehow” to acknowledge that they are confident that God will make a way no matter what.
