Keith Wonderboy Johnson, Just Being Me [๐Ÿ“ท: Zomba Recording LLC]โ€œHe made a way for me / He made a way for me / He made a way for me / He made a way.โ€ Who made a way? God.ย  God is who Keith Wonderboy Johnson (1972 โ€“ 2022) and the choir were singing about on โ€œHe Made A Wayโ€.ย  โ€œHe Made A Wayโ€ is a highlight from Johnsonโ€™s 2006 album, Just Being Me.ย  One of the truly anointed voices in gospel music, sadly, Johnson passed away at 50 in 2022.ย  Though we miss him and those dynamic, powerful pipes, his lasting music remains. One such lasting song is โ€œHe Made A Way,โ€ a testament to Godโ€™s goodness, mercy, and wonderworking power.

In the first verse, itโ€™s the 9/11 terror attacks, which hit too close to home: โ€œThen something shook the floor / Something shook the ceiling / Later she found out / The plane had hit the building.โ€ In the second verse, losing control of a vehicle could have ended adversely, but God! For all of the blessings bestowed upon us by God, Johnson wants to give him thanks and the utmost praise. โ€œI canโ€™t speak for you / But He did it for me,โ€ he asserts, adding, โ€œWhen I needed Himย  most / He was right there.โ€ Pushing two decades old, โ€œHe Made A Wayโ€ is a beautiful song of praise that never grows old. Keith Wonderboy Johnson, you did that!
