Reign lyrics - Kurt Carr

You are greater than the universe
More powerful than the sea
You are fairer than ten thousand
No one compares to Thee

The omnipotent Sovereign
Stronger than a million men
Your kingdom
Glorious
Victorious
Will never ever end

[Chorus:]
Reign Jesus Reign
Be thou glorified above this earthly plain
Son of God
And oh so good
In majesty Your kingdom will
For ever
Reign

You are glorious in life
Victorious in death
And I live to sing your praise
Till I exhale my final breath

Then may I soar beyond the sky
And see Your face with my own eyes
In my eternal home
Around the throne
I'll offer up this song

[Chorus]

All hail all hail the power of Jesus name
Let angels let angels let angels prostrate fall

[Chorus]

Reign... Jesus reign
Reign... Forever

And all shall reign forever and ever
Reign

Psalm 68 (Let Our God Arise) lyrics - Kurt Carr

[Verse 1:]
You are the awesome Mighty One now,
Your enemies they better run now.
They are no match no comparison,
Died on the cross to overcome.

You took the sting out of death that day,
Conquering both hell and the grave.
And if You did all these things,
What can You do in this place, hey?

[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh let our God arise.

[Verse 2:]
You are amazing, powerful,
And You are strong, invincible,
And You're greater than incredible,
And You defy impossible.

A man was dead for three whole days,
But You told him to live, get up from the grave.
You are a miracle working God,
So do Your thing in this place.

[Bridge:]
Arise, arise,
Put on Your strength and power, oh, great God;
Power, power belongs to God.

[Chorus]

[Vamp 1:]
(He's got all power) in His hands.
(He's got all power) in His hands.
(He's got all power) in His hands;
Let our God arise.

[Vamp 2:]
(He's got you and me brother) in His hands.
(He's got you and me brother) in His hands.
(He's got you and me brother) in His hands;
Let our God arise.

[Chorus]

Let God arise and His enemies be scattered

Let God
Let God
Arise!

Power,
Power Lord!

[Vamp 2:]
He's got the power

[Ending:]
Power belongs to God

God Blocked It lyrics - Kurt Carr

There were dangers awaiting me
Destruction was sure to be
But thank God for Angels
That were shielding and protecting
And looking out for me
Thank You Lord

The Devil had a plan to kill me, I know
But God intercepted his plan
And told the devil, no
God blocked it
He wouldn't let it be so

Haven't lived a perfect life
Seems I've done wrong more than I've done right
But thank God for compassion and forgiveness
That kept me from a terrible plight

You see, my life was spinning out of control
The fact that I'm still a live today
Ain't nothing, nothing but a miracle

God blocked it
He wouldn't let me fall
No, He wouldn't let it be so

For I've got work to do
Work to do

God wouldn't let me die
Because He knew I had work to do

Oh yes

And I've got life to live
There are blessings
He want's to give
God blocked it,
He wouldn't let me fall
No, He wouldn't let it be so

God blocked it
He wouldn't let it be so

It was the Lord
Nobody but Jesus

One Word lyrics - Kurt Carr

[Verse 1:]
Here we are in great anticipation,
We have gathered in pursuit of You.
Longing for divine revelation,
Breathe on us with Your Word of truth.

[Chorus 1:]
One word is all we need to destroy captivity
And break the chains that are binding.
One Rhema word, designed with Your expertise,
Tailor made for me; speak Lord
Through Your word, reveal Yourself to me.

[Verse 2:]
Lips of clay are so unworthy to speak for You,
So with grace won't You purge and clean.
Breathe into me and like a masterful musician,
Playing an instrument, You can play through me.

[Bridge:]
Your Word is a light unto my pathway,
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet.

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

[Chorus 2:]
One word is all we need to destroy captivity
And break the chains that are binding.
One Rhema word, designed with Your expertise,
Tailor made for me...

[Vamp:]
Speak Lord, speak Lord,
Speak Lord, reveal Yourself to me.

[Ending:]
Speak Lord,
Through Your word, reveal Yourself to me.

Why Not Trust God Again lyrics - Kurt Carr


[Verse:]
When life seems cruel and so unfair,
with each new day it seems a greater problem's waiting there.
For each step forward I take, seems I get pushed two steps behind.

Don't think I'm gonna make it sometimes,
don't think my nerves can take it this time,
as I'm about to call it quits the solution comes to mind.

[Chorus 1:]
Why not trust God again;
I know that He can do it if I pray again,
believe again, my God will work it for my good again.
I know that He will see me through it all if I trust in God again.

[Bridge:]
Is there a mountain standing in your way?
Is there a loved one you're worried about today (worried about today)?
(Ooh) Is there a blessing you desire that seems intangible?

Instead of giving up the fight,
just cling to faith with all your might,
the One that's seen you through before
is still able (able, able, able),
He's still able (able, able, able).

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to take Him at His word.

[Chorus 2:]
Why not trust God again;
I know that He can do it if I pray again,
believe again, I know that God will work it for my good again.
I know that He will see me through it all...

[Sopranos:] Why not trust
[All:] God again,

I know that He can do it if I pray again,
believe again, I know that God will work it for my good again.
I know that He will see me through it all if I trust (in God again).

[Vamp:]
I will, I will,
I will trust in God again.

Be Grateful lyrics - Kurt Carr

[Chorus:]
Be grateful.
Be grateful.

[Verse 1:]
God has not promised me sunshine,
That's not the way it's going to be;
But a little rain mixed with God's sunshine,
A little pain makes me appreciate the good times.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
God desires to fill your longings,
Every pain that you feel,
He feels them, just like you;
But He can't afford to let you feel only good,
(then you can't appreciate the good times).

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, because there's someone worse off than you)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes).

[Vamp:]
Be grateful, be grateful.
[repeat as desired]

For it will be alright...

[Vamp 2:]
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright

[Ending:]
For it will be al...
Be grateful.

My Time For God's Favor (The Presence Of The Lord - Remix) lyrics - Kurt Carr

[Intro:]
Everybody blow the trumpet
And sound the alarm,
Because the Lord is in the temple,
Let everybody bow.

Let all the people,
Let all the people praise Him now,
The Lord is here.

[Verse 1:]
The presence of the Lord is here,
The presence of the Lord is here.

I feel it in the atmosphere,
The presence of the Lord is here,
The presence of the Lord is here.

[Verse 2:]
A blessing from the Lord is here,
A blessing from the Lord is here.

I feel it in the atmosphere,
A blessing from the Lord is here,
A blessing from the Lord is here.

[Bridge:]
Everybody blow the trumpet and sound the alarm,
Because the Lord is in the temple,
Let everybody bow.

Let all the people praise Him now,
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is here.

Can't you see Him working on the outside,
I can feel Him moving on the inside.

So come and enter in
And cast your cares on Him,
He'll open up a window
And pour you out a blessing.

For when the Lord steps in,
He brings everything you need,
Healing, power, and victory.

It's all up to you,
Whatever you need Him to do,
Just trust Him and believe,
And then by faith you will receive.

[Vamp 1:]
I can feel the presence of the Lord
And I'm gonna get my blessin' right now.

[Vamp 2:]
I ain't waitin' no more.
I ain't waitin' no more, I've got it.

[Vamp 3:]
I ain't waitin',
I ain't waitin',
I ain't waitin',
I ain't waitin'.
[repeat as desired]

I ain't waitin' no more, I've got it.

[Vamp 4:]
It's my time for God's favor,
It's my time to be blessed.

[Vamp 5:]
Step in, step in,
Step in and be blessed.

[Vamp 4]

[Vamp 5]

[Ending:]
The presence of the Lord is here.

Something Happens lyrics - Kurt Carr

[Chorus:]
Jesus
Something special
Supernatural
About Your name
Jesus
Something happens
When I mention Your name

[Lead:]
Demons have to flee when I say Jesus (Jesus)
Sickness has to heal when I say Jesus (Jesus)
Every knew shall bow before
And every tongue porclaim
With worthy praise
The matchless name of Jesus

[Chorus]

When I call upon Your name
The very atmosphere will have to change
We'll be transformed
We'll never be the same
By the power of Your Holy name

[Chorus]

Jesus
Something happens when we call Your name
Jesus
Oh the power in Your name

Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Something happends when I call You

They Didn't Know lyrics - Kurt Carr


[Chorus 1:]
Jerusalem on a dusty road,
An innocent man condemned to death,
Bore a cross on His shoulders; they didn't know.

Down the Via Dolorsa, He staggered in agony
As He looked upon the hatred in the eyes
Of His own seed; they didn't know.

[Verse:]
They didn't know He was enduring this for them,
So they could live forever more in paradise with Him.
They didn't know one day they'd sing His praise with fear and trembling),
They didn't recognize the King that kings call King.

[Bridge 1:]
He didn't have to die for me,
He could have just set Himself free,
He could have come down from the cross at Calvary.

(But instead He was wounded for our transgressions)
(and He was bruised for our iniquities),
And by His stripes we are healed,
Oh, what an awesome price He paid for me.

[Chorus 2:]
They hung Him high and stretched Him wide,
They nailed His hands and feet
And pierced Him in the side;
They didn't know.

[Bridge 2:]
Look at my Savior, hanging there,
Suffering, bleeding, dying for me and you.
But Jesus never said a mumbling word,
But, "Father they know not what they do".

[Vamp:]
And He bowed His head,
Hung His head and He died.

And He bowed His head,
Hung His head and He died.

My Jesus bowed His head,
Hung His head and He died.

My Jesus bowed His head,
Hung His head and He died.

[Ending:]
But on the third day, on the third day,
On the third day Jesus rose;
He rose, He rose, He rose,
He rose, Jesus rose.

Victoriously, triumphantly,
With authority, He rose,
Rose, rose, He rose.

We Declare War lyrics - Kurt Carr

Every believer all over the world wake up and realize, Satan is busy
destroying the world right before our very eyes, our children are killing
our children guns and knives terrorize our schools, we can't just stand
here we can't accept this, there's only one thing left for the believers to do

[Chorus]
We declare war against the enemy he is defeated Satan's under our feet
we cannot lose with the Lord on our side Satan this is it we're tired of
taking it Satan we declare war

The enemy is cunning and his strategy is sure on this you can depend
the devil hates it when we glorify God he wants us to glorify him
that's why our music is losing its power, worldly influence is making it sour
there's no gospel there's no annointing we cannot let this happen in this
critical hour

[Repeat Chorus 1x]

[Bridge:]
Stand fight rise up

[Bridge 2:]
Blow the trumpet in Zion Zion [2x]
he is defeated the devil is defeated [2x]
blow the trumpet in Zion Zion [2x]

[Bridge 3:]
Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp on the devil [4x]
he is defeated the devil is defeated [2x]
I've got the victory I've got the victory [4x]

Satan this is it we're tired of takin it Satan we declare war

Awesome Wonder lyrics - Kurt Carr

When I consider the vastness of God
And all of the marvelous attractions that His hands have made
Flowers and birds and oceans and mountains
Truly God is an awesome wonder

You are an awesome wonder
No other power compares to You
Perfect in all your ways
Everyday faithful ever true

Oceans applaud You
Creation declares your grandeur
Here in Your splendor
We surrender to the wonder of Your power

With just one thought
You made heaven and earth
Knew my name before my birth
You know what lies in store for me

You designed my destiny and
As we come before You now
In Your presence we will bow
We submit ourselves to thee
And to your awesome deity

You said let there be and darkness turned to light
Even death bows in Your might
Kings and queens submit to thee
And proclaim Your majesty

You reached down and took clay in Your hands
Then You fashioned it to man
We stand in awe of what You've done
Oh God of awesome wonder

How when I consider all the works great
Thy hands, thou art have made
My soul cries out, "How great Thou art, how great Thou art"
The heavens and the firmaments
Declare the greatness of thy power

Set The Atmosphere lyrics - Kurt Carr



We hope you just open up your mouth and glorify God.
Has he done anything for you?

Holy, Holy
Worthy to be praised, Worthy to be praised

Can't you hear the angels, crying holy, holy, holy, holy
Can't you hear the angels, crying holy

Let's set the atmosphere, for a blessing
Let's set the atmosphere, for a mighty move of god

Is it alright if we just take a minute
To set the atmosphere
For a blessing

There's a blessing in the room tonight
There's a miracle in the room tonight
There's a financial brake through in the room tonight

Who's gonna catch it, Who's Gonna catch it?

Is it you [5 times]

My brothers and my sisters
I said, my brothers and sisters
Did you hear me, my brothers and my sisters

We're not standing here tonight to entertain you

But we come to remind you [4 times]

When praises go up [4 times]

[Kurt:] What happens

Blessings come down

[Kurt:] Come somebody open up your mouth and just bless God, come on bless him in here

[Kurt:] How many of you really need something from God tonight?
Listening to me on this record, I don't know what it is you going through but God said you can get your brake through to tonight

[Kurt:] Look at somebody and say I'm going to my brake through tonight,
Turn around behind you and say I'm going in instantanis brake through.

[Kurt:] Now you praying and seeking God and fasting but when you ask God
do you really have faith that he can do it. Do you serve a God that is able?
Do you serve a God that is strong and mighty?
Well if you do,

[Kurt:] Can I tell you how to get your brake through?
Say Kurt Carr
How can I get my brake through right now?
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I've been through
This is how you can get your brake though tonight

[Choir:] Reach up and Get it
(Come on reach up by faith)
Reach up and Get it
(Come on by faith reach up and get it)
Reach up and Get it
