Beautiful guitar work, melody and harmonica. This is a historical song about the real Waymaker. Beautifully recounts different stories of his life on earth, how he made a way for others then, and made a way though his sacrifice on the Cross for any who will listen in faith and accept his gift of forgiveness now.
"But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight...not by being good enough...We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins...no matter who we are or what we have been like. For all have sinned and fall short of God's standard...For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us.  We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood sacrificing his life for us...he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus."   Rom 3:21-23,25-26 LB
