The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow

by Marion Williams

on If We Ever Needed The Lord Before (1992), Remember Me (2006)

Like a ship that's tossed and driven
Battered by an angry sea
And when the storms of life are raging
And their fury falls on me
Lord, I wonder many times what I've done
And make this old race so hard to run
Then I say unto my soul, "Be patient
The Lord will make a way somehow"

Oftentimes, so much misunderstanding
Hey, I don't know all the good, the good I do
I go to my friends, I go to them to get consolation
But when I get there, I can't find no consolation
I find them complainin' too
So many nights, I toss and turn
Wondering, wondering what the day gonna bring
Then I say, say to my soul, "Hey, soul
Take courage, yeah, 'cause the Lord gon' make a way somehow"

You know the Lord gon' make a way, make a way somehow
Whoa, and beneath the cross I bow
He'll take away all my sorrows
All I gotta do is let 'im have my burdens
Let him have 'em right now
Then the load that down so heavy
I look at the weight, the weight is shown upon my brow
Oh, but there's a sweet relief, a sweet relief in knowing
Yeah, you know the Lord will make a way, yeah, somehow
