I Owe lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Lead:]
Lord I adore you
More than I can show you
And it's by your mercy
That I stand before you
And as I worship in truth
I express gratitude
I owe it all to you
Hey, I owe it all to you

[Choir:]
Lord I adore you
More than I can show you
And it's by your mercy
That I stand before you
And as I worship in truth
I express gratitude
I owe it all to you
(Say It Again), I owe it all to you

Almighty Protector
In the time of trouble
It's by your guidance
I come out of struggle
And with a praise on my lips
I won't fail to admit
That I owe it all to you
I owe it all to you

[Lead:]
I dedicate my life and soul to you
My worship is proof of my gratitude
My prayer is that I grow stronger in you

[Choir:]
My strength resides in you Lord
I owe you for that too

[Lead:]
O holy, holy Lamb of God
These tears are from my heart
My existence shows me how mighty you are

[Choir:]
My life belongs to you
I owe you for that too

O Gracious Provider
Ruler of my temple
Bread of my hunger
Water of divine thirst
God of this land and in heaven
This praise I release
I Owe it all to you
I Owe it all to you

For bringing me through
When I turned from you
And extending your hand
When you didn't have to

[Lead:]
For giving a chance
When I needed it reproof

I Owe Ya (We Owe)
I Owe Ya (You for life)
I Owe Ya (Health and Strength)
I Owe Ya [x3]

[Choir:]
How great is your merciful hand on us Who gave us his son
Just to show his love
For your grace and your kindness
We owe you this time ad forever we'll give thanks to you

I owe you my life, I owe you
I owe you my soul, I owe you
I owe you my time, I owe you
I owe you this praise, I owe you
[repeat]

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,
So don't hesitate to call me.

I know, (I know sometimes you feel),
Alone, (you're not alone 'cause I'm)
Always, (I'm always by your side);
(oh), I see you everyday...

[Chorus:]
I see you everyday,
Sending My love your way,
Watching your every move,
Covering you with grace.

All that I ask of you
Talk to Me everyday;
The bond is stronger
Then you know that I'll be right there.

[Verse 2:]
Look up to the stars,
You see, knowing Me,
Infinity is waiting for you.

I'll hold to My promise,
Just keep Me in your heart,
You'll feel safe in knowing I'm there.

I know, (I know sometimes you feel),
Alone, (you're not alone 'cause I'm)
Always, (I'm always by your side);
(oh), I see you everyday...

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You're so precious to Me,
Everyday (I'll hold you so close to Me).
I need you to have faith in Me,
(you can move mountains)
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]

So Good lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

(Shout that burden out)
Something about that Holy Ghost it'll a make you wanna move

My strength, my power, my mind you're so kind
Provider, co-signer, my breakthrough and my faith too
My up, my down, my shield and my crown

This Holy Ghost I have the world

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

I Won't Let Go lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard

[Verse 1:]
I won't let go till you blessed me Lord
I'm gonna get what you promised me

[Verse 2:]
I'm standing on your promise
I believe just what you said
I won't let go [repeat 4x]
Won't let go till you blessed me Lord

[Verses 1 and 2]

You blessed David
You enlarged his territory
There's so many others in the scriptures
So I need you to do it for me

[Verse 1 and 2]

You blessed David
You enlarged his territory
There's so many others in the scriptures
So I need you to do it for me

I Won't Let Go
[repeat]

Till you bless me Lord
