We need your help:
We want you to record yourselves on your phones singing WAYMAKER (but it has to be the radio version – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCpbeVFgs4E)
Please send us the ENTIRE song – not just a snippet – follow the below instructions.
Here’s how to do it:
The stuff lawyers make us say: By emailing us your video you are giving us permission to use the video / recording in a video that will be broadcast later on the internet and are giving us a full global license to use your recording in whatever way we need / wish. (Please know that we are not going to be making any blooper reels of this so you have nothing to worry about like that… this song is special and we will not use any recordings inappropriately).
That’s it. That simple.
Iconic singer and songwriter Michael W. Smith has released an Italian version of his hit single “Waymaker” featuring his longtime background vocalist Vanessa Campagna.
At a time when it feels like the world needs hope and music the most, Smith felt releasing “Waymaker” in Italian would help spread the song’s message trusting God to be the light in the darkness.
Smith says, “After seeing the turmoil in the world and especially the devastation in Italy, we wanted to record this version of ‘Waymaker.’ It is such a special song that moves people and brings them to a very special place, but most importantly it brings them hope.”
Campagna, who is of Italian descent and has relatives currently in Italy, was inspired to do something while witnessing the pandemic going on in the world.
“When I saw the video of everyone singing from their balconies in Italy, I was moved to tears. It was the most heart-warming thing I have seen in a long time. I have a lot of family over there, so that hit close to home with me. I thought, what better way to send a message of hope, than the words and music to ‘Waymaker’ in their language. I love you, Italy! Keep the faith, stay strong and keep singing,” says Campagna.
The single has resonated strongly with fans and radio alike and is currently rising on the charts. “Waymaker” has been climbing the top 10 on both Billboard‘s Christian Airplay and Hot Christian Songs charts. Smith and Campagna also sang “Waymaker” during Smith’s “Worship Around The World,” which he led through social media to over 1.5 million views on Sunday March 22, 2020 to help bring the world comfort during this time of uncertainty.
“Waymaker” is featured on Smith’s album AWAKEN: The Surrounded Experience, which was recorded live at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

All throughout my Christmas tour, we are partnering with local churches and hospitals to give new moms a copy of my new children’s book “Let’s Get Ready for Bed”. Last week I was in Panama City. Here’s some of the team at Gulf Coast Medical. They have an amazing story… They struggled to reopen quickly after Hurricane Medical and one of the few hospitals in the area that is open and can deliver babies!
