Hi All,
I'm new to this thread. I am looking for the lyrics for the Janet Paschall version of God will Make a Way. There is also a Don Moen version, that's not the same though.
Some of the lyrics are
God will make a way
When there seems to be no way
Forever He is faithful
Peace!
Susan
P.S. I did a search and I couldn't find it on this tread or board!
Here is the story & song I posted over on the BAC thread last week. I'll see if I can find the Janet Paschall version, this is the one by Don Moen.
I was looking on the net for some lyrics to a Don Moen song from the album God With Us, the song I was looking for I think on the album is called doxology (not positive) but it goes through the different ways God is known in each chapter of the Bible.....great song. While looking for it (haven't found it yet) I came across the following story on his web site. I have heard this song (whole set "God With Us") performed and also have the cassette (yeah, it's old) but I thought I would share it with everyone. If you have never heard this whole album and can find a copy.....get it.....it is a great listen from beginning to end. It is God With Us and put out by Integrity Music.....here's the story I came across and the lyrics follow.
Late one evening, Don Moen received a phone call with devastating news: his wifes sister had lost her oldest son in an automobile accident. Craig and Susan Phelps and their four sons were traveling through Texas on their way to Colorado when their van was struck broadside by an eighteen-wheeler truck. All four boys were thrown from the van.
Craig and Susan located their sons by their cries one boy was lying in the ditch, another in an area wet from melted snow. Nearby was his brother who landed by a telephone pole. All were seriously injured, but when Craig, a medical doctor, reached Jeremy, he found him lying by a fence post with his neck broken. There was nothing Craig could do to revive him.
When Don received the news of this tragedy a few hours later, he recalls, My whole world came to a standstill, but I had to get on a plane the next morning and fly to a recording session that had been scheduled for several weeks. Although I knew Craig and Susan were hurting, I couldnt be with them until the day before the funeral.
During the flight the morning after the accident, God gave me a song for them: 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. The song was based upon Isaiah 43:19 NASB Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.
This song would bring comfort to Craig and Susan when all hope seemed lost. It touched the hurt in their hearts with hope and encouragement. Don received a letter from Susan in which she quoted Isaiah 43:4 NASB: Since you are precious in My sight, since you are honored and I love you, I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.
Susan wrote, Weve seen the truth of the scripture. When Jeremys friends learned that he had accepted Jesus into his life before he died, many of them began to ask their own parents how they could be assured of going to heaven when they died. The accident also prompted Craig and Susan into a deeper walk with the Lord as well as into new avenues of ministry. Craig began teaching Sunday school at their church and Susan became active in Womens Aglow, sharing with various groups her story and the Lords provision in her time of sorrow.
She has since said, The day of the accident, when I got out of the van, even before I knew our son was dead, I knew I had a choice. I could be bitter and angry or I could totally accept God and whatever He had for us. I had to make the decision fast. Ive seen fruit come as a result of that choice. If I had to, Id do it again. Its worth knowing others will go to heaven because of what happened to Jeremy. God really did make a way for us!
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
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He cares for you
He understands
Hell hold you in His loving hands
He will do for you what no other friend can do
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way
By a roadway in the wilderness
Hell lead me
And rivers in the desert will I 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
God will make a way
He will make a way
***** On the recorded song......Don Moen comes in intermittently and tells this story, as well as a couple of other testimonies from some of the other singers.....very moving. The church we saw do it live....did the same concept with members of the choir coming forward and giving testimony about God making a way in their lives.....
I really like this song 
Where has everyone been? 
Thanks so much Michelle for the lyrics to that song! Petra is the first contemporary Christian music we ever heard (we used to be metal heads so our pastor gave us some Petra CD's) - now it is the only thing we listen too. Petra was our pastors (when we were at another church) favorite group and we got to go with him and see them in concert here....it was right after Bob Hartman had left the group (somewhere in the 90's) and he was actually there at that show and pastor got to meet him.....he was so excited. I'm sorry to here they won't be around for future concerts, etc. They sure have been a blessing to so many people though!
