Jody And Lani “Clear The Way” With Powerful Worship Anthem For The Church
Worship leaders Jody and Lani release their second single, “Clear The Way,” on Feb 24. The simple phrase progressed from a sermon note to a prayer, to a song written in a castle in Scotland.

âClear The Wayâ has been sung in churches, events, and other countries. âWe love leading this song because people catch the melody so quickly and the words are so powerful.â Lani said, âIt is so unifying to sing the lyrics: When the enemy surrounds us, weâll remember what Youâve promised We will claim the victory though we cannot see âcause our God is able
Jody and Lani collaborated with many worship leaders who appear as background vocalists in the recording. âWe canât wait to see how God continues to use this song,â said Jody who recorded, produced, and mixed the song along with a friend, Josh Anderson.
As more people discover the song, Jody and Lani truly hope listeners will find themselves singing along as a prayer for breakthrough and revival over their own circumstances, community, and the Church.
