Maurette Brown Clark - By His Grace

Come See About Me is another relaxing track that many will be able to relate to. The lyrics go something like this:

The project continues in a relaxing mode with One Prayer Away. Maurette wrote the song in response to the shaking of her own faith in the wake of September 11th. “I had just been telling people that God is in control. Now I was like, ‘how can I keep saying that?’” And God said, “If you need an answer, pray”. Maurette says, “So I did”. One Prayer Away lets us know that no matter what happens in life God is always as close as the next prayer.

Another jewel on By His Grace is the Kevin Bond-penned song, You’ve Been Good To Me. Bond, producer extraordinaire and an incomparable songwriter, is known for writing such hits as Yolanda Adams’ “In The Midst Of It All” and Donnie McClurkin’s “I Do, I Do”. The ballad is a heartfelt thank you to God for all the blessings in Maurette’s life. Ballads are obviously where she shines most, which is evident on a song she wrote called You Saved My Life.

Taking the beat up a few notches, Brown Clark covers a Winans’ hit, Restoration. Bringing it into the millennium, she adds a little funk and some hip hop to this well-known hit. Lean On You, a moving testimony complete with organ and strings, is simply a beautiful song. Maurette has Dottie Jones, an original member of the Richard Smallwood Singers, join her on Lean On You. Written by Steven Ford, an exceptional writer and producer in his own right, the song includes rousing, backing choir vocals. And the vamp will find you lifting your hands in worship to God. Staying right in the presence of God, Maurette follows with the reverent King of Kings.

She also includes a song she’s recently made popular, Just Want To Praise You. Originally included on Worship In His Presence, the song reveals the sincerity of her praise, which comes through loud and clear on this praise team worship anthem. Calvary, an incredibly melodic song, is breathtaking in its simplicity –just Maurette’s beautiful voice and a piano. Calvary, and the entire set of songs on By His Grace, is filled with so much emotion and sincerity. Encouragement and hope permeate each note.
