Sunday A.M. lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

One Sunday morning
I wanna tell my story

It's been a long week and my spirit is feeling kind of low.
Been giving a hundred percent of myself every where I go
When you pour out so much of yourself it just seems like it's never enough
People are hurting everywhere life has been tough

But on Sunday morning
There's a word waiting for me
On Sunday morning
Let the Lord minister to me
On Sunday morning
Into his presence worship will usher you
On Sunday morning, morning, morning

The spirit of the Lord will revive you
If I can just get you to Sunday morning
It's been a long week and my spirit is feeling kind of low.
Been giving a hundred percent of myself every where I go
When you pour out so much of yourself it just seems like it's never enough
People are hurting everywhere life has been tough

But on Sunday morning
Into his presence worship will usher you
On Sunday morning
Spirit of the Lord will revive you
If I can just get you to Sunday morning
Ooh ooh...
Sunday
Ooh ooh...
Sunday
Ooh...
Sunday

If I can just get you to Sunday morning
Anybody know about Sunday morning...

My Words Have Power lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Donald Lawrence, The Company)

Speak about your words
Power of life and death is in your words
Your words create your reality

My words have power to defeat the enemy
Those same words have power to speak life and prosperity
I have been given the authority, yes I
I can move mountains by the words that I speak
By the power invested in me, I decree
Gods favor is resting on me
I know my words, my words have power

My destiny depends on me, depends on me
I've changed my vocabulary
From now I'm standing on what I believe
There is no limit to what I decree
I know my words, my words have power, power, power, power

My God Is Big lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

Can I be real
Sometimes when it comes to your house
You wanted it to leave you out
Just remember our God is not surprised
About the problem, that's stressing you out
His ways are not our ways
His thoughts are not our thoughts
But please believe
He's the God
That never failed
Never failed
Never...never...failed us

Our God is big
So strong and mighty
And His plan for me
Is victory...victory...victory

I wanna hear all the victorious people say

Our God is big
So strong and mighty
And His plan for me
Is victory...victory...victory
[x2]

Can I be real
Sometimes when it comes to your house
You wanted it to leave you out
Just remember our God is not surprised
About the problem, that's stressing you out
His ways are not our ways
His thoughts are not our thoughts
But let me remind you
He's a God that never fails,
Never fails us

Our God is big
So strong and mighty
And His plan for me
Is victory...victory...victory

There's nothing my God cannot do [x4]

Psalm 24:7 says:
Lift up your heads, o ye gates;
And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
Well I'm glad you ask?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.

Victory I got it
I thank God
I got it
[x4]

I thank God
I got it

Victory, I got it
You got it

Victory I got it
I thank God
I got it
[x4]

Prayed Up lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

Everyday I'm watching on the TV about a robbery killing story
Oh we need to be prayed up

Negativity on the radio people have no shame anymore
Oh we need to be prayed up

The old Devil is on a rampage come to kill steal and destroy

You got to let him no that you got Authority

Blessings lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

When tests and trials get you down
They're only there to make you strong
If god brought you out of them before
Remember god will always restore

So stop worrying and stressing
He'll turn it into a blessing
'Cause there's a blessing behind closed doors
'Cause there is a blessing behind closed doors

Trials and tribulations come to
Hinder everything that you're tryin' to do
The enemy may even slam doors in your face
But god will open other doors to take their place

You oughta rejoice and praise him even more
He has so much in store
There's a blessing behind closed doors
There is a blessing behind closed doors

When it seems like your hope is gone
And you've done all you can do
The world may think you're breaking down
But god's says you're breaking through

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Lord, I thank you

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
For blessing me now

I Made A Choice lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
Alot of us walk around with a face full of frowns and
We don't know why
Why things never change, why it always rains,
And who's to blame.
Always getting in trouble,
Its a never ending struggle.
Tangled and tied up and bondage feeling so hopeless and wounded,
But theres a day I gave my life to you

[Chorus:]
I made a choice, to be with you.
It was the best thing anyone could ever do.
I made a choice, to be with you.
And I promise if I die I will be true.

[Verse 2:]
Alot of us gotta deal with things that we live with,
We don't know why,
Why things get harder and harder, darker and darker,
Where is my father?
Tears keep on falling, is there any joy that's coming?
Was bout to drown in depression but intercession was my weapon.
I'm glad I gave my life over to you

[Chorus]

[Hook:]
I was called by his name
Humbled as I prayed
Looked for his face and found his saving grace.
He took my hand and gave a second chance.
Thats the day I gladly gave my life to you

[Chorus]

I made it, I made it, I made it, made a decision [repeat]
To separate us from the love of god

Take Me lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Kierra Sheard & Angel Chisholm)

[Karen:]
I'm lost again (And I'm)
Hurting again (And I)
Realize again (That I'm)
Sorry again (And I)
Remember when (You would)
Show me Your love (And I)
Can't understand (Why I)
Keep messing up

[Angel:]
(I feel)So out of touch (But I'm)
Not giving up (Cuz I)
Don't like this place (Where I)
Can't see Your face (And I)
Know I deserve (To be)
Left all alone (But Lord)
Please hear me (As I)
Cry out to Thee

[Chorus:]
Lord take me
Here I am
With my arms
Open wide
I found no (One)
To be true
To me
But You

[Karen:]
Now I can see (it was)
Foolish of me (To just)
Decide to leave (Out of)
Your company (And I)
Know Lord I know (You should)
Just tell me no (But I)
Read in Your word (That You)
You won't let me go

[Kierra:]
(But Lord) If that is true (Then I'm)
Crying to You (Asking)
For You to give (Me a)
New chance to live (Bring me)

Just as long as today

[Karen:]

[Chorus:]

But You (But You)
[2x]

[Angel:]
I sit here and I wonder why I can't get it right
And I realized I'm in the dark and You are light

[Karen:]
And I just can't do a thing without You here in my life
So I pray for Your forgiveness Lord will You make it right

[Kierra:]
Though I stretch my arms to You as I hit the floor

[Angel:]
Crying differently to You Lord I won't do it no more

[Karen:]
Anything You ask for me Lord I would gladly do that

[Kierra:]
But down here on my knees

[Karen:]
Lord would You please take me back

[Chorus 2x]

Lord take me
Here I am
With my arms
Open wide
I found no (One)
To be true
To me
But You

Good lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

Come fame or fortune or the battle portion
Lord you are the source of everything I have.
Mercy given.. grace extended
A second chance at life that I never had.
People love me from what you gave me
Wonderfully and fearfully you made me
Marvelous are thou works in us
Thank you for the substance you've instilled in me.

If I could write a letter no one could word it better
than words from my heart using ink of love,
If I could direct a movie I would tell the story
if the favor that you've given to me.

[Chorus]
Lord you've been good, good, good.
Lord you've been good, good, good.
Lord you've been better to me than anyone else
Better than I could be to myself
Lord you've been good, good, good.

From the planes I fly, to the tears I cry
Lord you are my peace from a hill on high.
Joy and sorrow, hope for tomorrow.
Lord continue to lead and I will follow.
The things you've done you did not have to do.
Like making my enemies a footstool.
come rain or shine, you're on my mind.
And for being there all the time..

[Chorus]

Oh taste and see..

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh blessed is the man that trusts in Him and fears the Lord
and wants no more.
God I promise to keep my tongue from speaking negativity.
And seek peace all of my days.
And keep from evil ways that I might not stray from you GOOD

GOOD.. Good.. Good.. Good.. Good.. [repeat 4X]

Crazy Praise lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

I woke up one morning with a grateful heart
I thank the lord for a brand new start
He did not have to let me live to see a new day
He's always showing his amazing grace

He don't deserve a some tiny praise
Cause everytime I call on him he saves my day
So lift up your voice and send up a praise
He deserve a consistent crazy praise

We made so many mistake in our life
It was some crazy battles we could not fight
The devil thought he had us but we got away
Tell god what he deserves because we know he saved the day

He don't deserve a some tiny praise
He looked past our crazy (crazy)
He looked past our crazy (thoughts)
He looked past my crazy (mistakes)
So send up a praise
He deserves a consistent crazy praise

What He Did lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

Thank God that I don't look like what I been through, I been through
I thank God that I don't look like what I been through, I been through

Adversity, fell on me, His word is true, He came through

I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did

I thank God that I don't look like what I been through, I been through
I thank God that I don't look like what I been through, I been through

Adversity, fell on me, His word is true, He came through

I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did

I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did

Through many dangers and temptation

He came and covered for me
Through hard trials and my struggles
He came and covered for me

Through many dangers and temptation
He came and covered for me
Through hard trials and my struggles
He came and covered for me

He did it, He did it, He did it, yes he did
He did it, He did it, He did it, yes he did
He did it, He did it, He did it, yes he did
He did it, He did it, He did it, yes he did

Yes He did [7x]

I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did
I'm glad about, glad about what he did, what he did

Said I don't look like it, I don't like it,
I don't like what I've been through

He Knows lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Dorinda Clark Cole)

Does he know about how I can't get to sleep at night
Does he know about all this pain and tears I cry
Does he know about the things I done
Everything under the sun
Does he know all of our secrets we hold so tight
Does he know how hard it is to cope sometimes
Does he know my weakness when I feel like I wanna choke somebody
Does he know all of my needs beyond my faults
Does he know all of my joy that I lost

[Chorus]
He knows, he knows all about our struggles
He knows, he knows all about our troubles
He knows, he knows every sorrow that's coming tomorrow
He'll never put more on us then we can bear
He knows about it, He knows about it

Dorinda too..

Does he know my dreams and desires too
Does he know my shortcomings, does he know that too
Does he know the things I said
And the thoughts in my head
Does he know the things I cherish and what I regret
Does he know how hard I try to live saved
Does he know my weakness
The things that make me stray away
Does he know my needs beyond my faults
Does he know how to find me when I'm lost

[Chorus]

Have Your Way lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Karen speaking]
"To all of the worshippers out there who knows that when you get in the presence of God,
where He rules and He reigns, whatever the atmosphere may be.
It doesn't matter the time. It doesn't matter the place,
we'll know that your surroundings will have to become subject to the Spirit of God..."

We give You the glory,
The honor
The praise
Lord we reverence
Your presence, dwelling in this place
We magnify You,
We love You
We surrender all to You
Have Your way in this place
Have Your way in this place

We give You the glory,
The honor
The praise
Lord we reverence
Your presence, dwelling in this place

We magnify You,
We love You
We surrender all to You
Have Your way in this place
Have Your way in this place

"You may be in a place now where things are just out of control.
But your situation is not so big that God can't set things back in order.
So what you need to do is fall on your face and tell God to 'move by Your Spirit, Lord'..."

Move by Your Spirit, Lord [x4]...
We need Your presence, Lord [x4]...
Move by Your Spirit, Lord [x4]...
We need Your presence, Lord [x4]...
Show us Your glory, Lord [x4]...
We need Your power, Lord [until fade]...

Be Blessed lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1]
Too many storms have passed your way
And you're all washed out cause it rained on your parade
Seems nobody cares about you anyway
Now you're living your life like a castaway
Searched for strength inside was it all in vain
Cause the deeper you dig you find more and more pain
Don't let your tomorrow be like yesterday
Cause I spoke to God, I called out your name
And on your behalf, I just asked if He would be there for you
I want you to

[Chorus]
Be Blessed,
Don't live life in distress
Just let go, let God, He'll work it out for you
I pray that your soul will be blessed
Forever in his rest,
Cause you deserve his best no less

[Verse 2]
Enter a place where you never have to cry
Never have to live a lie, never have to wonder why
Never want for nothing you're always satisfied
In the peace that his arms will provide
He will erase any guilt or shame, any bad habits you've got

You won't wanna do em again, Yes we all can change, I can testify
See I spoke to God, I called out your name
And on your behalf, I just asked,
If he would be there for you
I want you to

[Chorus]

My prayer for you today,
Is that you trust and always obey
On this day keep calling [choir]
On this day keep calling [solo]
He'll keep you from falling [choir]

[Chorus]

Be blessed from the bottom of your feet to the crown of your head
Your life be blessed
Your family be blessed
Your finances be blessed
Everything about you

You Showed Me lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Intro:]
Da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da, da.

[Verse:]
You showed me (Your unchanging love),
And You showed me (that the love does so much).
In my soul today and everyday,
It connects like the bond (of the moon and the sun).
You're the breeze of the seas, the life abundantly,
The happiness (You showed me),
Joy (You showed me),
Peace (You showed me) and love.

[Chorus:]
For everything I am, You showed me.
For everything I've got, You showed me.
For dangers seen and unseen, You showed me.
For being a part of You, You showed me.

[Verse]

[Chorus]

[Vamp:]
(You showed me You love me),
(You showed me You care),
(You showed me Your mercy)
(because You're still there).

(You showed me You didn't have to do it, but You did),
(You showed me Your grace 'cause I'm still here).

You showed me You love me,
You showed me You care,
You showed me Your mercy
Because You're still there.

You showed me You didn't have to do it, but You did,
(You showed Your happiness) You showed me,
(joy) You showed me,
(peace) You showed me (and love).

[Chorus]

Lifting up the name of Jesus
And you hear the music playin'
And you see the people dancin';
Just forget about your worries,
Let your troubles fall behind you,
Don't you wait another minute,
Just get up and on your feet and...

The Heavens Are Telling lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

The heavens are telling
Of God and His glory
A mighty God we serve
They speak of His character
Awesome Creator
A mighty God we serve

Angels bow before Him
Heaven and earth adore Him
No other God above Him
A mighty God we serve

Hail the power and glory of God
Hail the power and glory of God

The earth and skies, glory
The land and seas, God's glory
The flowers and trees, glory
You and me, God's glory

Everything He does
He does it well
He does it well
What a mighty God we serve

God Is Here lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

There is a sweet anointing in the sanctuary
There is a stillness in the atmosphere
O come lay down the burdens you have carried
For in the sanctuary God is here.

To break the yoke and lift the heavy burden
He is here, God is here
To heal the hopeless heart and bless the broken.

O come lay down the burdens you have carried
For in the sanctuary God is here

Speak Lord, speak Lord
Speak Lord, speak Lord
Speak Lord, speak Lord
Speak Lord, speak Lord
Speak Lord, speak Lord
Speak Lord, speak Lord
Speak Lord, speak Lord

O come lay down the burdens you have carried
For in the sanctuary God is here

You keep me on my feet, happily excited.

You loved me every time I awake,
You loved, thank You for loving me Jesus.

Go Ahead lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Missy Elliott)

[Verse 1:]
Stop thinking the worst,
Be more of a winner,
If you wanna set your mind to it,
Then believe God for it.

Stop thinking you lost,
When the game ain't even started
You'll never get it if you can't see it,
Before you ever receive it

(Now dance if you believe it),
(let's dance before you get it),
Go-getters will reap and sow it better,
Don't talk but be about it.

[Chorus:]
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead,
Don't think about it.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead,
Don't worry 'bout a thing.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Have faith in Him.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead,
Go get what's yours.

[Verse 2:]
Stop thinking you can't,
Be more of a soldier,
Believe you're more than conquerors
In Him that loved us.

Stop looking to man,
He's limited in understanding,
He might have the same problems
And he may need the same answers.

(Now dance if you believe it),
(let's dance before you get it),
Go-getters will reap and sow it better,
Don't talk but be about it.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You've been thinkin' 'bout some extra dollars,
All you gotta do is scream and holler like you got it;
(its on its way, go on and get your dance on).

You've been thinkin' 'bout some peace and favor,
All you gotta do is keep the faith and you'll get it,
(yeah, yeah, keep the faith).

[Rap:]
Hold up, stop, now wait a minute,
Ain't no stoppin' 'til Missy finish.
Turn my mike up so the whole church can hear it,
Ain't no talkin' 'bout it, we 'bout to be about it.

Let's work it, we gon' work it,
We gon' praise dance all up in the churches.
Now we gon' rock the service,
All night 'til the pastor do a sermon.

Now hop, slide,
Step to the right, you try it.

Now hop, slide,
Praise Him all night, we ain't tired.

[Chorus]

Praise Up lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
Take a look in the mirror and evaluate yourself,
Think about where you've been, are,
Your life, strength, and health.

(Hello), did you hear me,
You need to get up out of that seat,
(as we celebrate His name in praise) Jesus,
(think about the ways he's made)

[Bridge:]
Through danger seen and unseen,
You've kept me from some harmful things,
Ooh (and to show my gratitude to You)
(I'm a get my dance, dance, dance on).

[Chorus:]
Jump if you feel you need to.
Dance, take advantage of this chance.
Stomp ya feet and throw your hands way up.

Shout, let everything that has breath,
Take your time and express yourself.
Be not dismayed, it's time to get some praise up.

[Verse 2:]
Take a look at your temple,
Is it sanctified inside?
Has your heart had a cleaning real good,
Has your soul been revived?

(Hello) are you listening,
You need to move out of that row,
(as we worship Him in spirit and truth), hallelujah,
(thank Him for what He's done for you).

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Vamp 1:]
Jump, move somethin',
Move somethin',
Move somethin',
Move.

Jump, move somethin',
Move somethin',
Move somethin',
Move.

Sometimes lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Chorus:]
Sometimes heaven seems so far away,
With all that you're going through everyday,
From being tempted to resented and you need direction.

Sometimes heaven seems so far away,
With all of the money spent that you make,
But the righteous won't be forsaken,
You just keep on pressin'.

[Verse 1:]
I might get personal so protect your toes,
'cause I feel I need to let my heel down (heel down).
For we do all that we can to (treat our neighbor right),
But sometimes we wanna (scream).

We try to turn the other cheek and stay on our knees
And keep our tempers under control (control),
But you know (that every now and then)
You wanna tell somebody what they mean.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Working that job so hard from dusk to dawn
To keep a decent roof over head (your head),
But your debt is ever growing, (even working overtime),
But sometimes you wanna (scream).

But God knows the pain is there
And how much we can bear,
We didn't come this far to be left alone,
(that's why we gotta) be strong
(for the prayers of the righteous) will availeth many things.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
For the trials that we see
Are here to (make us stronger).
Grab onto His hand
(and live in fear no longer).

Like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
(we shall not be moved);
(stand strong in your service)
And your eyes will be dried (in the morning).

[Chorus]

Don't Change lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Kierra "Kiki" Sheard)

[phone rings]

(hello?)
(hey mama)
(yeah)
(can we kick it?)
(can we kick it?)
(I'm sorry, can I talk to you for a minute)
(that's more like it)
(well here's my story)

[Verse 1]
(becoming a lady) (yeah)
There are so many things to learn (uh huh)
About life and things that we're made of (now I see where this is all going)
Don't wanna be mistaken
For not being a christian girl (uh huh)
And my fear is being made fun of
(baby let me tell you how to cope) (tell me)
'cause ya mama went through the same thing (I bet you did)
Be not justified by what your friends might think

[Chorus]
(mama I do my best
To obey the rules that you and daddy set
To keep me from doin' somethin' that I might regret
Even though it's hard mama don't change)
(being a mama ain't a easy task
It's more than examples on how to cook and dress
Discipline and values I know you need to get
Even though your hard headed don't change)

[Verse 2]
(I know that I am special) (yes you are)
Because I am a child (mama's baby) of the king
But in the school they be thinking that I am arrogant (what now hold)
I don't understand it (well)
You told me to be proud of myself (yes I did)
Why does it seem like I'm doing all the wrong things
(let me tell you how to be
When your attacked by the hands of the enemy
Hold you head up high
And in him you must believe)

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
(mama I know it looks like I'm not listenin'
But I hear you and daddy too
Thank you for showing me what to do)
(we know you try we know it ain't easy to live this life sometime)
(but as your by my side)
(we can make it together)

[J-Moss]
I know what it means when you see them things on the T.V screens make a sista wanna (scream)
You wanna make it quick everytime you see 23's or 24's thick on the floor
But mama knows best
Daddy told you whenever you come come correct
Take your time baby and be a young lady
You whole of your life a head of you don't change

[Chorus x2]

(can we talk anytime
Can I tell ya what's on my mind
Your my friend till the end
Can I come
Can I call
Will say the right thing
And explain what cha mean (I will)
Can you show me (watch me) how to get through
We I can see oh oh)

Be Sure lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

If you ask me why it really took so long
It was like waiting for that picture perfect song
If you ask me why it took so many years
It's never easy coping with your fears

If you ask me how I felt being alone
Where I was weak God made me strong
If you ask me if I really feel secure
Before I say yes - I must to be sure

[B-Sec:]
Sunny days don't mean that it ever won't rain
Money may bring things but it won't erase the pain

[Chorus:]
I love you and you love me but we must be sure
We may be the best of friends but in the end it's true love that wins
Gotta be love that will endure
I gotta to be absolutely sure

If you ask me what precedes a wedding day
It's the answers you receive when you pray
And if you find for any reason it's not pure
Before you say yes you must be sure

[B-Sec]

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Could it be infatuation or is it true
Losing a battle with temptation will never do
Though I'm not perfect my objective is to be pure
So please forgive me for the wait I had to be sure
Please understand

[Chorus]

If I'm gonna to put my trust in you
Gotta be absolutely true
If I'm gonna share my life with you
Gotta be absolutely sure
Gotta be a love that will endure
Gotta be absolutely sure

Only Call On Jesus lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Chorus:]
I only call on Jesus
He carries me through my worst storm
I only count on Jesus
I'm leaning on His everlasting arm
I have a testimony bout Jesus
He carries me through my worst storm
I only count on Jesus
I'm leaning on His everlasting arm

Let me tell you that I'm leaning
And I'm trusting him
I'll sit and I'll wait
The Lord he's right there for me
Never too late
Boy when it feels like I'm level
Level to the ground
He lifts me right up all my blessings come down
That's why I call him

[Chorus]

Yes he's a way maker when I'm sick I can fall
On my knees and I'll pray
The Lord turned my midnights
To a brighter day
Oh it's a blessed assurance
In You when I call
Wonderful counselor
My all and all

[Chorus]

All right
Somebody may be going through something out there
You see in order for you to have a testimony
You gotta go through some tests and some trials
To make you strong

[Chorus]

I've Been Changed lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

Any other day
I wouldn't have dealt with this situation this way
There were a lot of things I wanted to say
But when I thought about what would have happened
If I let you get the best of me
No way
Now I can truly say

[Chorus:]
I was a bird on the ground
Using my legs to get around
I was a piano out of tune
But I've been turned around
Tell you how I know
Places I used to go
I don't even go no more
Cause I can fly now
And the song I play lets me know
I've been changed

Never mind what you heard
I'm not the same somewhere, somehow, some way
I reversed the way I do things
I know it ain't worth all the
Tug of war with you
To prove I'm stronger
I no longer
Stay to play and lose
Now I'm proud to say it's true

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Make no mistake about it
Anyone could change
But it takes a strong mind to say
That doing the right thing is ok
And now that I've decided
To give up these ways
There's no turning back now
Now that I found out
I can overcome all these things

[Chorus x2]

If I Can't Say A Word lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

If I can't say a word I'll just wave my hand
If I can't say a word I'll just wave my hand
I get so full I would explain it if I could
God's been just that good

Sometimes I get so filled up
Like an overflowing cup
Can't seem to find the right words to say
Holy Spirit have your way

[Chorus:]

When I think of his love for me
The way he looks out for me
Sometimes I find myself speechless
His favor leaves me breathless

[Chorus:]

Can I just wave it [repeat]

God's been just that good

I'll Be Right There lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
There's no other love, no where in the world,
Greater than My love for you.
You belong to Me, I adore You,

Alone, (you're not alone 'cause I'm)
Always, (I'm always by your side);

Everyday (I'll hold you so close to Me).
I need you to have faith in Me,

Through My love for you.

[Chorus]

[Vamp:]
I see you everyday,
Sending My love your way,
I'll be right there.

[Chorus]

Higher Ground lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Missy Elliott, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Dorinda Clark Cole, Mary Mary & Tweet)

[Chorus]
I'm moving on, Can't nothing stop me now
I'm pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

[Kim Burrell]
Obstacles and situations,
People, places and things
I must overcome for there's a battle to be won
With my mind set on higher things, these things have become my footstool
I'm determined to reach my goal, I need peace for my soul oh

[Chorus]

[Yolanda Adams]
I'm pressing on the upward way
Brand new heights I'm gaining everyday
No higher place that I really have found

[Mary Mary]
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
Forgetting what is already behind me
I'm moving forward to what's ahead

[Chorus]

[Dorinda Clark-Cole]
The race is not given to the swift
Nor the battle to the strong
But it's to the one that endureth
But we gotta stand strong and fight on

[Karen]
Sometimes you feel like your foot might slip
Cause there's too much going on
Just realize your goal is greater than your struggle
Hold on and be strong

[Chorus twice]

[Karen and Dorinda]
Be strong and fight on
But by all means keep moving on

[Missy Elliott]
I'm a witness ([Tweet:] I'm a witness)
For Jesus ([Tweet:] nobody but Jesus)
When I was down and no one was there
He picked me up and He carried me ([Tweet:] Oh He carried me)
I'm a witness ([Tweet:] I'm a witness)
For Jesus ([Tweet:] nobody but Jesus)
When I was down and no one was there
He picked me up and He carried me ([Tweet:] Oh He carried me)

Brand New Day lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Yolanda Adams)

[YOLANDA:]
You may have done
Some things that you're not
Too proud of, at one point in your life
Well, you're just one good prayer away
From living again
Starting today

[CHORUS:]
It's a brand new day
Spread the news, go tell a friend
It's alright to love, its okay to live again
Never mind your faults
What you've done or
Where you've been
It's what's in your heart
It's all that matters in the end
It's a brand new day

[KAREN:]
Maybe you were involved
In a love gone bad before
And ever since then
You've been bitter and scorn
All those bad feelings
You no longer need to hold
'Cause we're in with the new
Out with the old

[CHORUS:]

[YOLANDA:]
Things that made you angry in your past
[KAREN:]
Now you look at them, and you can laugh
[YOLANDA:]
Cause they don't
And they won't
[KAREN:]
Matter anymore

[CHORUS repeat]

2nd Chance lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
Dear God I know what's right from wrong
But there are times I let myself slip away
Though I've hidden thy word in my heart
I sometimes forsake the extent of your grace

Shallow as I sometimes behave ignoring your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to your unmerited favor

[Chorus:]
I strayed away but you saved the day
And you gave me a 2nd chance
It's been so long since I've been home
I was wrong but you gave a 2nd chance

[Verse 2:]
Dear God I try to focus my eyes on you
As I worship in spirit and in truth
Though you're my light in my darkest hour
But it gets hard to see when I'm all into me
Shallow as I sometimes behave ignoring your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to your unmerited favor

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You gave me a chance I know that I don't deserve
Throughout my life there's none else I'd rather serve
I promise I will do my best to make it into Heaven
For as I sleep and awake you sustained me
That's why I love you so

Shallow as I sometimes behave ignoring your ways
Letting my selfishness conquer my days
Thanks to your unmerited favor

[Chorus]

A Secret Place lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

This world sometimes seems cruel and cold
And pain doth pierce my very soul
But there's a place, a secret place
A place where I can go, ohh

A place of peace, where love abides
Where justice reigns and God resides
There is a place, a secret place
A place where I can go

For You shall hide me in Your tabernacle
From the rain and storm
And even when my enemies peruse me
You'll keep me safe from harm

And when my heart is filled with pain
No peace it seems I'll find again
I find that place a secret place
A place where I can go

For You shall hide me in Your tabernacle
From the rain and storm
And even when my enemies peruse me
You'll keep me safe from harm

There is safety, in Your tabernacle
There is protection, in Your tabernacle
There is security, in Your tabernacle
There is sanctuary, in Your tabernacle

Lord take me, to Your tabernacle
I wanna go, to Your tabernacle
Lord take me, to Your tabernacle
Lord there You'll reign, hide me safely in Your dwelling place

There is a place a secret place
A place where I can go, ooh a secret place
A dwelling place, I wanna go, I wanna go

Sacrifice lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Kierra "Kiki" Sheard)

After this true story
He sent more blessings
There were miracles that people never had
There was love beyond compare
That's how He showed He cared

He proved it with His eyes, He cried for me
He proved it with His knees, He prayed for me
So I present my body
A living sacrifice
So I give you my heart and I give you my mind
I owe you me
Thank you for setting me free

[Karen:]
I shall never forget this Man named Jesus
Cause He died for you and me at Calvary
He paid the price and made a sacrifice
That's why I owe Him me
So I'll take this time to show appreciation to our Lord
For saving me a wretch undone
So I offer up a sacrificial praise
Oh because the lost He thought enough to save

[Karen & Kierra:]
He proved it with His eyes, He cried for me
He proved it with His knees, He prayed for me
So I present my body
A living sacrifice
So I give Him my heart
So I give Him my soul
I give you my heart my mind
I give you my soul
I owe you me
Thank you for setting me free

It's Not Over lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse:]
It's not over 'til God says it's over.
It's not over 'til God says it's over.
He's with you through stormy weather,
Oh the God I serve, He fails you never.

He is a man of His word, it's not over.
Just hold on to your faith, it's not over.
He'll make a way for your escape,
He has the last say, He's never lost a case.

[Bridge:]
Cannot go by what He looks like,
We walk by faith and not by sight;
You must believe in what Jesus says.

[Chorus:]
Man of His word, it's not over.
Hold to your faith, it's not over.
He'll make a way for your escape,
He's never lost a case.

[Vamp 1:]
It's not over.

[Vamp 2:]
Whatever you need it's in the closet.

[Vamp 3:]
I'm coming out,
I'm coming out,
I'm coming out,
I'm coming out of this thang.

[Vamp 1]

[Vamp 4:]
You gotta see it before you see it, or you never will see it.

[Vamp 5:]
You coming out,
I'm coming out,
We coming out,
We're coming out of this thang

[Vamp 6:]
Yes, yes, yes,
I'm coming out of this thang.

[Chorus]

Just For Me lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
I found in You a special gift, a treasure chest for me.
It's beauty I just can't resist and only I can see.
Never would have thought You could open up to me,
You showed me all inside and said to me believe.

[Chorus 1:]
Just for me (just for me),
You came down because You loved me.
Just for me (just for me),
Never knew someone to care so much me,
(never could've dreamed about it),
(never wanna to live without it),
(never could I doubt about it),
(just for me).

[Verse 2:]
I found in You a secret place created just for me,
When I am there the pain's erased, my shackled heart is free.
Never would have thought that I would have found a love so true,
You were the one, the only one, my heart belongs to You.

[Chorus 2:]
Just for me (just for me),
You came down because You loved me.
Just for me (just for me),
Never knew someone to care so much me,
(I never knew someone could care for me);
Just for me now I'm praying,
(and I adore You, living just for You)

[Chorus 1]

Praise Festival lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

I wanna know what you doin'
Where you goin', what are your plans
Here's a proposition
Won't you listen and take my hand?

Let's go to a place where
We all share the same mind
There's no politician but religion
And have the time

Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on

Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival

Let everything that is breathin' partake in the celebration
Don't miss your blessing, forsaken dedication
Praise with your hands or even a dance
There's no competition but religion's a must

Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on

Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival

Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on

Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival

Y'all, tryna help me feel me
Tryna hear the talk about you tryna drill me
All that controversy until go rehearse what gon' say to me
I got responses from A to Z
Matter of fact go get your Bible and don't play with me

He was in this great job, grand plan to the Man
Except that you've now exceeded that
It's about time we found new ways
New [Incomprehensible], new flames
You have to make your stance clear

Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on

Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival

Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on

Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival

Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on

Join in, go and grab a friend

Unconditional (Mad Love) lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

Unconditionally... (Mad love...)

I can't get You off my mind;
Those ever-present thoughts reside,
Here in my heart, of You - I gotta make a motion;
You tickle my emotions, and I fall in love over and over again...

I can't stop my face from glowin'
Because I have the faith in knowin'
That ooh! You'll be there in spite of all commotion,
So dear, Your devotions keep my heart like a light in flame...

I like Him, He's good to me;
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...)
I like Him 'cause He took me;
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...)

Unconditionally... (Mad love...)

Earthquakes come when You touch me;
Showers come when You bless me...
It's like a sunny day when You smile on me, a hurricane when Your word is sent from above;
What I've been dreamin' of, and (ain't nothin' gonna stop my love!)

My knowledge tells me if I please, You will never leave;
Don't take your arms from around me...
And ooh! If I didn't say, tell You that I thank You,
'Cause when the world said I couldn't do, You made all my dreams come true...

I like Him, He's good to me;
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...)
I like Him 'cause He took me;
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...)
(I love You so much, from the bottom of my heart...)

I'm in love with You - head over heels, love with You...
I'm in love with You - head over heels, love with You...
I'm in love with You - head over heels, love with You...
I'm in love with You - head over heels, love with You...

I like Him, He's good to me; (So good to me...)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (I love You...)
I like Him 'cause He took me; (Oh, more than anybody else...)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (Oh, I love You 'cause you took me in your arms and wrapped me in the cradle of Your love...)

I like Him, He's good to me; (Thank You...)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (For lovin' me...)
I like Him 'cause He took me; (You're so good to me...)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (I 'preciate the way that You prove Your love to me!)

I like Him, He's good to me; (Oh, it's my turn to show You how I feel about You!)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (Oh... oh, unconditionally...)
I like Him 'cause He took me; (Thank You for givin' me peace in the midst of the storm!)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (Thank You for givin' me love, oh, when nobody else could love me!)

I like Him, He's good to me; (Oh, oh, yeah... Oh, I thank You, Jesus...)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...) (You're so kind to me... Thank You for your love and kindness!)
I like Him 'cause He took me;
(Thank You - Thank You for your love and kindness! Thank You - Thank You for your love and kindness!)
I love Him unconditionally... (Mad love...)
(Thank You - Thank You for your love and kindness! Thank You - Thank You for your love and kindness!)
I like Him, He's good to me;
(Thank You - Thank You for your love and kindness! Thank You - Thank You for your love and kindness!)

Gotta Right... lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

I gotta right to praise Him...

Every now and then, I take a retrospective look within,
And from that, I find all the words from within a friend...
Because through the years, You caught my tears;
Everything I saw as far, You brought it near,
So I promise I will love, praise, and keep You in my life...

Every time I think about You, (Every time I think about...)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (Got a right to praise You, Lord...)
You soothe my doubts, and calm my fears; (Soothe my doubts, and calm my fears...)
I can't explain the way I feel... (Can't explain the way I feel, oh, yeah...)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to thank You, Lord... (I got a right...)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain, (Blew away the rain, took away the pain...)
That's why I exercise my right...

How can I ignore the one that loved me when I could care less? (Ah-ow, oh, no...)
I wasn't fit to live and yet not ready to die, just a mess... Whee...
You looked beyond my faults and saw my loss;
Now portraying joy and zeal is my greatest skill...
Now I promise I will love, praise, and keep You in my life...

Every time I think about You, (Every time I think about...)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (Your goodness to me...)
You soothe my doubts, and calm my fears; (All you've done for me...)
I can't explain the way I feel... (I can't explain...)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to thank You, Lord... (I got a right...)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain, (Blew the rain, took the pain...)
That's why I exercise my right...

I will bless the Lord at all times,
And His praise, I'll continually rewind and say them again...
Because through the years, You calmed my fears,
Now portraying joy and zeal is my greatest skill,
So I promise I will love, praise and keep You in my life!

I gotta right to praise Him...
I gotta right to thank Him...
(I got a right...) I gotta right to praise Him... (to give you some praise! Oh, yeah...)
I gotta right to praise Him, thank Him... (Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh...)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (I'm gonna forever praise you! Oh, yes, I will!)
You soothe my doubts and clam my fears; (I will bless the Lord at all times,)
I can’t explain the way I feel... (And his praises shall continually be in my mouth...)

Every time I think about You, (Oh, yeah...)
I gotta right to thank You, Lord... (Oh, yeah... oh, yeah, yeah...)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain; (Oh, praise is my weapon;)
That's way I exercise my right... (I don't know about you, but I pull my weapon out...)

Every time I think about You, (Oh, yeah...)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (Oh, no weapon that's formed against me, it's not gonna prosper!)
You soothe my doubts and clam my fears; (Oh! Oh, praise can do a lot of things for me...)
I can't explain the way I feel... (Praise will protect me! Praise will...)

Every time I think about You, (Praise will shield me, praise will cover me...)
I gotta right to thank You, Lord...(Praise will - oh! It will help me out of my situations...)

Can't Take It lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
I would go on throughout my day,
Thought I was okay,
But I really didn't have commitment.

I was prestige in many eyes,
They didn't see me cry,
I really could hide my torment.

Though it seemed I was fine,
It continued all the time,
I'm only human and the pressure is getting to me.

[Chorus 1:]
I just can't take it no more,
My strength has walked out the door
And it left me and told me I can't go no more.

I just can't take it no more,
Just want to lay down and die,
God, if You hear me, come near me,
You're my only hope.

[Verse 2:]
I wish I had another chance,
I would fervently seek Your hand,
I would've survived the avalanche.

I didn't see the road to take,
So I gave my life away,
And there's no way I can pray from a grave.

Though it seemed I was fine,
It continued all the time,
I'm only human and the pressure is getting to me.

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge:]
Listen to me, You can do all things
If you turn to God, One who made you...

[Chorus 2:]
You've got to take a little more,
Your strength has walked out the door,
And it left you and told you it can't go no more.

You've got to take a little more,
Might want to lay down and die,
Just know God hears you, He's near you,
He's your only hope.

Jesus Is A Love Song lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. The Clark Sisters)

Like the voice of an angel, it ministers to me.

[Chorus:]
A love song, beautiful song.
Love song, beautiful song.
Love song, sweet simple song.

[Verse 2:]
Could it be a dream or is it a reality,

Like the voice of an angel, it ministers to me.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
The day He opened my eyes
And He changed my heart,
Jesus is a love song to me.

[Vamp 1:]
Jesus is a love song,
Love song.

[Vamp 2:]
Jesus is a love song.

Couldn't Tell It If I Tried lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

God's been so good, I couldn't tell it if I tried
I could have been dead, down in my grave
But you told death, stand back and behave
Sometimes I sit and cry
There's so many reasons why
God's been just that good

God's been so good, I couldn't tell it if I tried
I could have been dead, down in my grave
But you told death, stand back and behave
If I had a thousand tongues it still wouldn't be enough
God's been just that good

Always making a way out of no way
Been so good - than you Lord
Oh yes, oh yes, been so good thank you Lord
Sometimes I sit and cry - there's so many reasons why
God's been just that good

Couldn't tell it, couldn't tell it

Couldn't tell it, thank you Lord

There's so many reasons why
God's been just that good

The Will Of God lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Kierra Sheard)

My daughter, Kierra Sheard.

[Karen Clark-Sheard:]
The safest place in the whole wide world
Is in the will of God;
Though trials be great, and the way seems hard,
It's in the will of God...
It may be on a mountain peak, or in the valley low,
But wherever, wherever, wherever, wherever it may be,
If God says "Go," oh, go, go...

[Kierra "Kiki" Sheard:]
The devil's loose in all the world;
There's danger in the land...
The safest place in the whole wide world
Is in the Master's Hand...
It may be on the battlefront, or in, or in, or in the prison walls,
But wherever, wherever, wherever it may be,
If God says "Go,"
If God says "Go,"
You put your trust in Him!
Go! If He says go! If He says go! If He says go!
You do what Christ tell you to do! You said go!
Go! Go...

[Karen, (Kiki:)]
It may be (It may be) on the battlefront, (on the battlefront,)
Or in (Or in) the prison walls, (the prison walls,)
But wherever, (Where-wherever,) wherever, (wherever,)
Wherever, (Wherever,) wherever (wherever)
It may be, (It may be,)
If God says "Go," (If God says "Go,")
Go, go, go, go, go! (Go, go, go, go, go!)
Go... go!
