Psalm 150 (Call To Worship) lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

[Choir:]
Praise ye the Lord
Praise ye the Lord
All ye people, praise ye the Lord...

Praise ye the Lord
Praise ye the Lord...
Let everything that has breath...
Let everything praise the Lord!

[Worship Leader:]
Praise ye the Lord!
Praise him in the sanctuary;
Praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts;
Praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise him with the psaltery and the harp.
Praise him with the timbrel,
And let all God's people praise him in the dance.

Praise him with stringed instruments,
And let his praise resound on the organs.
In one great majestic chorus,
Let's praise him...

[Choir sings / worship leader continues to speak:]
Praise ye the Lord,
(... upon the loud cymbals!)

Praise ye the Lord!
(And let's praise him on the highest sounding cymbals!
Let everything that...)

Let every thing...
(Has breath)

That has breath praise...
(Ah, yes! We are commanded to do so!)

Let everything praise...
(Every living thing, give him praise!)

Let everything praise...
(Every breathing thing, give him glory!)

Let everything praise...
(Hallelujah, everyone under the sound of our voice!)

Let everything praise...
(Praise the Lord!)

Praise the Lord!
(Let's praise...)

The Lord!
(Come on everybody, lift your voice
And praise the Lord! Hallelujah!)

Let Everything That Has Breath Praise lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

[Verse: x2]
Praise him in the sanctuary,
Praise him in the mighty firmament,
For his excellent power and greatness,
Praise the Lord!
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet,
Psaltery, harp, the tambourine, and dance.
Let the cymbals' crash ring out and
Praise the Lord!

[Chorus:]
Let everything, everything,
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
May his work be applauded forever.
Let everything, everything,
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Let all heaven and earth come together.

For the Lord is good, the Lord is good.
For the Lord is good, praise the Lord.
For the Lord is good, the Lord is good.
For the Lord is good, praise the Lord.
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)
Praise the Lord!

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

Let everything, everything,
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
May his work be applauded forever, forever!
Let everything, everything,
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Let all heaven and earth come together...
And praise... the Lord.

[Bridge:]

[Worship leader speaks / choir sings]
(Let everything!)
Let everything that has breath praise...

(Every breathing thing!)
The Lord...!

(Every living thing!)
Let everything that has breath praise...

(Ah, yes, let's join the angels and give him glory!)
The Lord...!
Let everything that has breath praise...
The Lord!

(Hey! Our God is worthy of glory and majesty and...)
Let everything that has breath praise...
The Lord...!

(Come on, singers. Let's do this!)
Let everything that has breath...

[Worship leader, spoken:]
Ah, my favorite Scripture says
One day every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess that he is Lord
So let everything that has breath praise!

[Choir sings / worship leader speaks:]
Let everything that has breath, praise!
(Everything dwelling on earth,
And everything soaring in heaven's atmosphere!)

Let everything that has breath, praise!
(Every warm-blooded, breathing thing,
Every living creature!)

Let everything that has breath, praise!
(Every upright walking thing, praise him!
Every creeping thing! Let everything...)

Let everything that has breath, praise!
(Every flying thing, every swimming thing...
God created everything to give him glory!)

If I had... ten thousand tongues...
That wouldn't be enough
(Ten thousand tongues couldn't express my praise!)

To give you praise!
(Oh God, I owe you praise!)
I owe you praise, praise! Praise, praise!

[Ending:]
Let everything, everything (Everything!)
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
(Let all heaven and earth unite, come together!)
Let all heaven and earth come together.
(And praise the Lord!)
And praise the Lord...!

Praise the Lord!

We've Gotta Put Jesus Back lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

[Spoken Intro:]
Everybody, I am a Jesus promoter.
I got a new song that says:
We've got to put Jesus back, make Him number one,
First in our lives; that's where He belongs!

[Verse:]
Oh, great church, mighty and strong
Go back to the values you were built upon.
Oh, brothers and sisters, come on, come on!
Remember we're not losers; we are the champions.
They took prayer out of the schools;
We shouldn't have allowed this!
Now they're even trying
To take Jesus out of Christmas!

[Chorus:]
Church, arise, arise and be strong.
We've gotta put Jesus back. [x3]
Number one: That's where He belongs!

Jesus is the way, Jesus is the way,
Jesus is the only way to make it.
Jesus is the way, and He will make us strong.

Between Here And There lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

[VERSE 1:]
Traveling this journey through life I experienced the thrill – of victory
Sometimes the path that I traveled has taken a curve that led to defeat
But while I was walking the tedious journey
There were two things that kept - my sanity
My prayer and my praise - My praise and my prayer [2Xs]
I thank God for praise and I thank God for prayer
That’s what sustained me [3Xs]
Yes that’s how I made it – through the difficult seasons
Between here and there

[VERSE 2:]
There will be days in your life
When it seems like the storm cloud -- is following you
Then there’ll be days when it seems like God’s favor is shinning
on everything you do
You will have ups and downs on life’s journey
There are two things that will keep your sanity
Your prayer and your praise - Your praise and your prayer [2Xs]
I thank God for praise and I thank God for prayer
That’s how I made it – through the difficult seasons
Between here and there

[CHORUS:]
Between here and there
Between here and there
[Leader:] A whole lot of things came to test me
[Choir:] Thank God, He kept me between here and there
Between my mountain top - experiences
And my valleys of dark - despair
I thank God for praise and I thank God for prayer
That’s how I made it – through the difficult seasons

[VAMP:]
Between here - and - there [repeat while leader adlibs]
Jesus right there - Carrying me – Right there [REPEAT]

Between my mountain top - experiences
And my valleys of dark - despair
I thank God for praise and I thank God for prayer
That’s how I made it – through the difficult seasons
[PARTS:] Between here and there

There Is A Sound lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

There is a sound like none I've ever heard before
A certain sound, resounding in the atmosphere
It's a sound of an awesome melody that won't stop ringing in my heart
It's a sound so pure, so rare... this must be god's greatest work of art
The sound is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, my very soul is shaken by the sound of that name
The sound is beautiful, Jesus' name is beautiful
Jesus... I love the sound of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus... highly exalted name

There is a sound
There is a sound

There is a sound, there is a sound, that can set the bound and captives free
A certain sound that can make the lost find liberty

They tried to kill the sound on a rugged cross
With the nails at Calvary, but the cross could not destroy the sound
That shall surpass eternity

The sound must've come straight from heaven (ah, ah)
Only god can do such an awesome, powerful thing
The sound has power when it's whispered in a still small voice or when it's shouted like a trumpet echoing...

The sound is... Jesus...

Jesus, Jesus... my very soul is shaken by the sound of that name
The sound is beautiful, beautiful... Jesus
I love the sound of Jesus, highly exalted name

There is a sound
There is a sound
There is a sound
There is a sound

There is a sound...
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, oh...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Jesus...
There is a sound...
The sound of Jesus saves me, the sound of Jesus shakes me
And you know what I love him, I love him
He is my master, healer, deliverer, friend, counselor, I love Him, oh, Jesus!

...my very soul is shaken by the sound of that name
The sound is beautiful, beautiful... Jesus
I love the sound of Jesus, highly exalted name

There is a sound... oh... Jesus!

It’s not a bad day
Another day the Lord has made
Stop calling it a bad day
There’s no such thing as a bad day

Everyday you wake up on the other side of the grave

Narration lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

Very few things on this Earth function as God plan them
He made a covenant with us and created a beautiful world for man to dwell and dominion in the beauty of holiness
Yet, in the garden, he broke the covenant with God
And ever since then. it seems like honesty, loyalty, and commitment are so hard for man to accomplish
Even in the body of Christ, these attributes seem to be almost lost
Oh, but I'm reminded of this scripture that says, God is seeking for someone who will worship him in spirit and in truth
And that's my quest everyday
God, I want to be true, I want to be real
Even when I fall and I mess up, I want you to know that I'm gonna repent and get up and say, God, use me again
God, receive my praise again
My lifelong goal is to be true to you
Despite what this world does, I won't follow trends, I'll follow you
My heart desires to be true to you

Dedication To Albertina Walker lyrics - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

I wanna dedicate this song to the memory of my godmother
Albertina Walker
Oh, I miss her so
She was truly a pioneer in Gospel music
And she embedded a love for traditional church music in my heart that will live forever
I miss you but I know I'll see you again in heaven
Amen

Amen, oh
Amen, oh no
A-Amen, oh, ah
Amen
Amen

[*bell rings*]

I Am The One lyrics - Kurt Carr

[Lead:]
I wrote a song for the thankful believers.
Those who have the testimones that you have been through too much to forget to tell god thank you...
Tell somebody I am the one that came back to say thank you.

[Chorus:]
I am the one
I am the one
I am the one that came back to say thank You Lord
For all that You've done
I'm grateful for everything You've done
I had to come back
My heart made me run back
And tell You thank you
Thank you, thank you
I had to come back
My heart made me run back
And tell You thank you

There's an old familiar story
Reigning over in glory
There were ten men who were bound
And dying from leprosy
They said, if we can just get to Jesus
We know He can free us
And just as they believed, Jesus spoke
And healed their infirmities
Oh… nine of the lepers were so excited about their miracle
They turned and ran away
And they never took the time to stop
And give thanks to their Healer
Oh… but one of the lepers didn't follow the crowd
But he ran back to Jesus and cried out loud
He said, there is no way I could just turn away
I had to come back and say
Thank you Jesus!

[Chorus]

Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord
I had to come back
My heart made me run back
And tell You thank you
Thank You, thank You
I had to come back
My heart made me run back
And tell You…

(Thank you Lord)

Had to come back and thank You
Lord I thank You
[Repeat]

Lord I thank You
[Repeat]

I had to come back
My heart made me run back
And tell You thank you
