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.

Carman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was a born to a virgin named Mary on Christmas Day
He bled and he died on the cross to take sin away
You take him high
You take him low
You take J.C. wherever you go
Tell me who's in the house? J.C.
Tell me who's in the house? J.C.
Tell me who's in the house? J.C.
Tell me who's in the house? J.C.
Jesus Christ is in the house today
The way is straight and narrow
And few there be that find it today
But there's an angle in the tangle
And it's Jesus Christ, He;s the way
The solution to pollution of the mind
And problem with sin
For two thousand years it's still
You must be born again
Now tell me who...who...who...who...who?

Literally loved this song when I was a kid in the 90’s.
I had forgotten about it.
I’m watching this now because I just read the news of his passing. Christian music has lost an icon.
