Sinach Responds to Her GMA Dove Award Nominations for "Way Maker"

Award-winning Nigerian gospel icon, Sinach has been nominated for the 2020 edition of GMAs Dove Awards for her incredible hit song "Way Maker", the same song that earned her a spot on Billboard's Songwriter's list for weeks.
The song has been nominated in the category of 'Song of the Year', Spanish Language Recorded Song of the Year (for the Spanish version recorded by Priscilla Bueno), and Worship Recorded Song of the Year (as recorded by Leeland). "Way Maker"'s nomination is arguably the first time ever a song written by a Nigerian gospel artist is making the top category.
"This nomination could only have come through the Spirit of God and not man," Sinach said. "As I have said before, this song was born from the Spirit and it is soaring on the wings of the Holy Ghost. It is a song for the now. I am grateful to everyone who has supported us, the churches, the ministers who have taken this song to the ends of the earth, and the many people it continues to be a blessing to."
Since the song was released on 30 September 2015, 'Way Maker' has been covered by a number of globally acclaimed Christian music artists such as Darlene Zschech,William McDowell, Michael W. Smith, Leeland, Christafari and Bethel Music to mention a few.
Earlier in May 2020, two covers of 'Way Maker' by Michael W. Smith and Leeland were featured in the top 10 Hot Christian Songs chart. According to Billboard, it was the first time in the history of the Hot Christian songs that two versions of the same song have resided simultaneously in the top 10. Leeland's version is currently ninth on the chart, while Michael W. Smith's version is in the third position.
