Kee says that it was during a trip to Michigan with his choir that he received a calling from God to be a preacher. Kee was in his mid-twenties when he was ordained as a minister. In 1995, while ministering in Ohio, he received a prophetic vision and went forward with the building of a Fellowship Center in Charlotte which could minister to the people in the community. He officially founded the New Life Fellowship Center where he became and remains the senior pastor. Ironically, the church is located in the same area where he had once led a life of crime and drugs. It is rumored that Pastor Kee does not accept a salary from the church, but is merely satisfied in knowing that the preached word of God has been brought forth.
In the mid 1980's, Kee formed a community choir in Charlotte known as the New Life Community Choir or "NLCC." Over time the choir grew in popularity and has continued to travel throughout the area. The choir also includes some of Kee's own children.
In 1990, Kee founded the Victory in Praise Music and Arts Seminar Mass Choir, or "V.I.P." in order to fellowship with various ministries, song writers, musicians and choir directors from all over the country.
Kee has been active for more than 15 years in the music field. He is primarily known for mixing traditional gospel with modern contemporary gospel and for having a soulful husky voice. His current cd entitled "The Reunion," released on December 5, 2005, features some of the old members of New Life Community Choir.
In 2007 Kee was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame. [1] He also has an album, Nothing But Worship, which features the smash hit Right Now Praise.
Right There
John P. Kee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting
Patiently
For the blessings You promised me.
In my waiting
I matured.
Expecting blessings and all of my needs.
Said I'm gonna wait right here
And I know You're coming through.
You're not a man that you would lie.
You will do ev'rything You said You'd do.
CHORUS
I'm holding on,
I've been set free.
You have designed something specifically for me
Made up my mind
No turning beck
Concering Your promise
The Word says Your're not slack
I'm waiting patiently
For the blessing You promised me
No one nowhere nobody can shake me
I'm convinced that You'll come through for me
VERSE
The highest order of dicipline
Comes when you learn to wait
In my waiting, I got a little weary
Satan tried to shake my faith
But then You came in,
Changed it around
Took away all guilt and shame
And now I stand tall with a testimony
For by grace through faith we are saved.
CHORUS
Took away the guilt
And all the shame
My blessings come for I have access in Your name
Desires and needs
He shall supply
My God is not a man that He should ever lie.
I'm waiting patiently
for the blessing You promised me
No one, nowhere, nobody can shake me
I'm convinced that You'll come through for me
VAMP
Right here,
I'll be waiting
For my blessing
I'll be waiting right here(2x's)
For my blessing(4x's)
(adlib lead) I won't get tired, I won't get weary, I'll keep my faith, I'll draw You
near me.
VERSE
Listen
So many move befor they get their blessing
That's why I'm taking time
I am confessing
It's just a test
YOU ALREADY WIN!
Just like He brought you out very last time
He'll do it again
Oh you must stay strong in the Lord, yeah
And in the powere of His might
Stay right there in the middle of His Will
For I know His Will will never deny
I'm waiting paitiently
For the blessings You promised me
No one, nowhere, nobody can shake me
I'm convinced that You'll come through for me.
