“He Will Make a Way”
John Waldon & Company (2012)

John Waldon calls the assembly to worship, then moves out of the way as Andrea Baty gives this conventional gospel song a bluesy, old-school vibe with her sassy, soulful squalling.
“You can talk about me just as much as you please,” Baty asserts, “‘The more you talk, I’m gonna stay on my knees.” Take that, haters!
Lyrically, “He Will Make a Way” comes from the “Jesus will make a way out of no way” tradition. The singers, together and by section, support Baty’s declarations with passion.
Waldon is the Minister of Music at Family of Faith Fellowship Church in Houston, Texas, under the leadership of Dr. Brian Patrick Glenn, and a member of the Houston Police Department.
