Natalie Grant's song 'Make A Way' tells the story of a young woman who leaves home with big dreams, only to be exploited and left broken. She tries to survive on her own strength, but eventually hits rock bottom. In her despair, she hears music from a church and steps inside, where she prays and surrenders her life to Jesus. The song shifts from her determination to make her own way to God's promise to make a way for her. It's a powerful message of redemption, hope, and the transformative power of faith.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
She was only 17
Wild at heart and following her dreams
Believing she was pretty
Got a ticket to the city
Where she'd find her place on the cover of a magazine
It was only a chat room, but it would lead the way
To the door of a man where she'd throw it all away
He said they'd take it slow
But little did she know
She'd be all used up by the end of the day
But she was strong
And she would survive
Ambition would be her drive
And she said...
I'll make a way
I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though I may not understand
Someday, I'll make a way
Where did she go wrong, how did she get here?
Livin' hard and looking older than her years
Miss Little Big Town
Trying to hold a job down
Doing what she could to choke her fears
But she was strong
And she would survive
A spark of hope had kept her dream alive
And she cried...
I'll make a way
I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though I may not understand
Someday, I'll make a way
Someday, I'll make a way
Walking down the road
In the city where she'd come with so much hope
Her vision had long died
Along with all her pride
And she found herself at the end of her rope
But she heard angels through the door
Of a church she'd passed a million times before
There was a song of heaven ringing
And soon she found herself believing
That out there maybe there was something more
So she bowed her head to pray
And said, Jesus, please make a way
And she heard Him say...
I'll make a way
I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though you may not understand
Today, I'll make a way
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Today He'll make a way
