Background[edit]
"The Way" was released on August 9, 2011, as the second single from his seventh studio album, We Cry Out: The Worship Project.[6] The song is one of his personal favorites from the album, about identifying Jesus as the way of life. They nearly had the album complete until Jeremy’s brother-in-law, Brad Peens, gave him an idea for a song that included an African choir. Jeremy gathered a few more ideas for the song, and they re-wrote it together. In an interview with "The Worship Community", Jeremy explained the feel he was trying to show in the song, “It’s very anthemic, a world-wide kind of song. It feels like a war song, a cry of God’s glory.”[7]
