Waymaker

Berowrabaps - October 30, 2020

You are here, moving in our midst

I worship You

You are here, working in this place

I worship You

You are

Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper

Light in the darkness

My God, that is who You are

You are here, touching every heart

I worship You

You are here, healing every heart

Oh, I worship You

Jesus, I worship You

You are here, turning lives around

I worship You

You are here, and You are mending every heart

I worship You, yeah

I worship You

Even when I don’t see it, come on, even when

Even when I don’t see it, You’re working

Even when I don’t feel it, You’re working

You never stop, You never stop working

This week we’re looking at a song that my cousin in law (is that a thing?) showed me. It was almost a year ago now and it’s been such a blessing to me in that time. This song is called Waymaker.

This lyrics in the song really speak for themselves. This is a song declaring who God is, recognising the way he moves and affirming to ourselves what he is doing in and among us even as we sing.

All of this around a fantastic melody that draws you in gently before it really pushes into a massive anthemic crescendo!

Look at the verses first though; God is here. With us. Emmanuel. This is what Christmas is all about! Jesus has come to be among us and now we are never alone. And he sends his Holy Spirit to be with us; and in his presence we are healed, mended, he turns our lives around!

Indeed God is the waymaker; He is the One who makes the impossible, possible. He is the One who does miracles. He is the One who keeps all of his promises to us. He is the one who is always light no matter the darkness that surrounds.

These truths are so important for us to rest in, to recall, to believe!

For me I am so encouraged by God as promise keeper. For he has promised many things to us. In Isaiah God promises to his people that:

‘When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and when you pass through rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.’

He tells Joshua:

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go

Jesus tells his followers that His Father knows what we need and that if we seek first His kingdom and righteousness these will be given to us also.

Later he promises that his yoke is easy and his burden light; he promises light in our darkness, and life in all of its fullness for us.

God is full of promises.

And God keeps his promises.

I hope this song is a blessing to you like it has to me

Much Love
