As a boy, Carman played the drums and the guitar, and he began singing in his teenage years. As his career developed, Carman played clubs then went on to Las Vegas. It was after seeing an Andrae Crouch concert that Carman gave his life to Jesus Christ and embraced his new found faith in the living Savior. After five years of ministerial preparation, he moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he began to develop his ministry headquarters for a worldwide outreach.
During the next two decades Carman changed the face of Christian music and evolved contemporary evangelism into what it is today. Carman established "Carman World Outreach," a non-profit organization that helps touch the lives of literally millions of people worldwide. Billboard Magazine recognized Carman's influence in Christian music by first naming him "Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year" in 1990. He has received numerous gold and platinum albums and videos. Even with all this success, the heartbeat of this Champion for Christ continues to beat strong for the souls of people who need Jesus. As an outflow of this passion, Carman had more than 50,000 people attend his "Music for Peace" crusade in Johannesburg, South Africa. These numbers topped the charts as his largest concert crusade ever, until more than 70,000 people packed the legendary Texas Stadium, making it the largest Christian concert in history.
For over 26 years, Carman has entertained, encouraged and preached the Gospel to millions-crossing denominational, cultural and ethnic lines. During this time, he has never compromised the call to take the Gospel to every person.
Carman died on February 16, 2021 (28 days after his 65th birthday) in a Las Vegas hospital, after a series of complications resulting from surgery to repair a hiatal hernia. He was survived by his ex-wife, five stepchildren and ten step-grandchildren.

Revival In The Land
Carman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
In the center of the caverns of hell, hidden under layers of evil that have thrived for centuries, sits the morbid domain of the prince of the power of the air. Suddenly, a scaly creature disrupts Satan's ghastly existence with an urgent message. It reads, "Code red problem, conference needed, disaster forecasted!" With a disgusted annoyance this general of evil agrees to confer with his chief demon lieutenant. This is the story of that encounter
Satan: You may enter.
Demon: My Lord Satan.
Satan: State your business and make it fast.
Demon: Sir, we're having problems of cataclysmic proportions.
Satan: Where?
Demon: In the east sector, sir. The damage is vast.
Satan: Is there something wrong with my abortion clinics?
Demon: No, sir, that's all fine. We kill 4,000 unborn a day through, shall we say, surgical removal. It's selective breeding. We eliminate human life in the name of convenience like the Nazis and the Jews and with the government's approval.
Satan: Is there a problem with my pet project, television violence?
Demon: Sir, it's covered, from videos to cartoons. By the time a child graduates high school, he's seen 70,000 murders.
Satan: Is this effective enough?
Demon: Sir, just watch the news.
Satan: Is there a disturbance in my false religions?
Demon: No sir, business is booming. Over 40 million are into New Age and Zen. Over 45 million believe in astrology.
Satan: Looks like we're catching up.
Demon: Yes, sir. Only 50 million claim to be born again.
Satan: Is there a problem with business in general?
Demon: Sir, we're showing tremendous progress. Teenage runaways, each year a million or more. There's a teen suicide every ninety minutes and your specialty, drunk driving, will claim more lives this year that the whole Vietnam war.
Satan: Well is there a disturbance in my... What was that?
Demon: Sir, that's the reason all these demons are on crutches and wobbling.
Satan: What's going on?
Demon: Sir, that's what I've been trying to tell you.
Satan: What is that?
Demon: Sir, that is our problem.
Satan: Only one thing causes warfare of this magnitude.
Demon: Then, sir, you know what we are dealing with up there.
Satan: Yes, it's some of those sanctified
Demon: Try blood bought
Satan: Spirit filled
Demon: Saints of God
Satan: Actually
Demon: Presently
Satan & Demon: On their knees in prayer!
Demon: Sir, they're literal holy terrors. They bind us, cast us out. Then they do those disgusting charismatic jigs. They quote scriptures like the Son of God and, sir, if you don't intervene we all might wind up in a bunch of pigs.
Demon: Sir, that's the good news. The bad news is the subject of their prayers that threatens our survival. What they're praying for is causing hemorrhaging in the realms of darkness.
Satan: And the bad news is?
Demon: Sir, they're praying for revival!
Satan: I hate revival! It just erupts, it's hardly controllable. At the Azusa street outpouring things got rough.
Demon: Yes sir, and when the charismatic movement hit, sir, we were jumping out of windows with all that "untie my bowtie who stolla my honda" stuff.
Satan: Then I'll come in like a flood.
Demon: But they'll say the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against you.
Satan: OOOOHH
Demon: It's written in the Word.
Satan: I'll form weapons against them.
Demon: Sir, no weapon formed against them shall prosper. That's in the Bible, too.
Satan: Yes, I've heard. I'll hit them with every filthy, lusty thought you could imagine.
Demon: But it's written, "resist the devil and he must flee."
Satan: Obviously, the enemy is taking the battle more seriously than we are.
Demon: And that's very dangerous, sir, especially for me.
Satan: It's time to launch my final, most vicious attack. I'll remind the saints of their past- how they were liars, cheaters, manipulators and moochers.
Demon: But sir, you know what will happen if you remind the saints of their past.
Satan: And what is that?
Demon: Sir, they'll just remind you of your future.
Satan: NOOOOOOO
Attention all Saints of God, man your battle stations!
Sound the alarm loud and long to all men of every nation!
We're kicking down the gates of hell, not stopping till they're level.
For the sentence of destruction's on the forehead of the devil.
Lift your hands in victory, this is our finest hour!
For this sleeping giant called the church is rising up in power!
Cry loud, spare not, this lion's got a roar!
We may have lost some battles, but we will win this war!
We've made it through the fire and our faith in God is strong!
We're a revelation generation with fire in our bones!
We're filled up with the Holy Ghost, trusting in the Bible!
Fasten your seat belts, saints of God, the world is breaking forth in a Revival!
Revival is coming to our land
The Holy Ghost is moving just like a hurricane
Revival is coming to our shore
Get ready for the moving of the Spirit of the Lord
Last Chorus:
It's what we've been waiting for
It's what we've been praying for
From America to England
From Africa to Spain
From Mexico to China
The Spirit of God is being poured out
On all flesh and there is
Revival in the land!

The lyrics to Carman's song Revival In The Land encapsulate the war between the forces of evil and the people of God. Satan is depicted as the prince of the power of the air, ruling in a cavern in hell, his finest general, and chief demon lieutenant come to him with a message that their domain is threatened by the prayers of the saints of God. The demons report that there is a disturbance caused by the literal holy terrors: the Spirit-filled, blood-bought saints of God who are on their knees in prayer, binding and casting them out. The entire song is a dramatic portrayal of the battle between good and evil, between the forces of light and darkness, and between the power of God and the power of the air.
The song is not just a call to arms, but a declaration of victory. The chorus says, "Revival is coming to our land, the Holy Ghost is moving just like a hurricane. Revival is coming to our shore, get prepared for the moving of the Spirit of the Lord." It's a song that speaks of hope and faith in the God who has promised to fight for His people. Furthermore, it's a song that encourages the body of Christ to rise up in prayer and intercession, standing in the gap between heaven and hell, and declaring that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.

I listened to him in the 80's and 90's. I forgot just how powerful these songs are. We need to be singing these songs today and worshiping The Lord. We really need a Revival right now.....who's will me????

Amen brother GOD spoke thru him just like he is with me and I will blast all Carman music in my trucks with bass that will have the same shaking as GOD does when he shows everyone world wide he is real and it's going to be a glorious day when I see him again along with everyone else when they see the truth in their face and not from lies from internet and science.

Haven't heard this since the early 90s. Nice to hear the "old" Carlton Pearson singing on here. Keep him in your prayers....Carman's gone on with the Lord, he will be missed.
David Gross
The way you phrased that made me curious, so I looked him up, and I follow you. Gone off the deep end, hasn't he? That's sad. Let's pray the Lord will chase him down and bring him back.
Diana Fuentes
I love his music. Touches my heart so much,! GOD IS THE ANSWER FOR THE WORLD TODAY!
Kathleen Holmberg
I have been looking for this album for several years. I am so thankful to have come across it! Thank you Carmen, there were many unbelievers that came to the Lord because of your faithfulness in completing this project.
Author K J Hafdahl
Overall, this album is a great album, all the good songs are on it
RedRecordings
One of the most amazing albums ever in any genre!
Richard Previte
The song "This Blood Is For You" (located at 19 Min. 40 sec.) really ministers to me every time I hear it. Praise God! Thank you Carman for being a vessel that God is using to encourage many people.
