Biography/Early years:
Kurt Carr was born in the early 1960s in Hartford, Connecticut, where he grew up in a family who believed in Jesus, but was not deeply involved in church. At the age of 13, Kurt found himself being increasingly drawn to the church. In his early teen years, he performed as an actor and dancer at the Hartford Stage Company in a Broadway musical called "On the Town," which was directed by the late Clay Johnson. He became an active member in his church's music department. At the age of 17, he realized that he was being called to do something even higher with his life. After high school, Kurt entered into the music program at the University of Connecticut, where he studied classical music and earned a Fine Arts degree. Carr is a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.
Music Career:
Kurt was Andrae Crouch's piano accompanist for Crouch’s music ministry for one year. After playing there for a year, Rev. James Cleveland hired Carr to be musical director and pianist for Rev. Cleveland’s ministry. He was employed there for seven years until Rev. Cleveland died. Eventually, Carr became director of the West Los Angeles Church of God in Christ Choir, where he had the opportunity to work with both Gospel and Secular musical artists, such as Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Yolanda Adams, and Kirk Franklin. In 1989 while in Los Angeles, Carr formed a six member vocal ensemble Gospel singers group, called The Kurt Carr Singers. The group has grown to seven members and now includes sopranos Yvette Williams, Nakitta Clegg-Foxx, and Michelle Prather, altos Timiney Figueroa-Caton, Vonnie Lopez, and Nikki Potts, and tenors Troy Bright and Brandon Winbush.
Carr’s music is an interesting blend of traditional Gospel composition and vocals, elements of R&B, jazz, soul, blues, and the distinct modern harmonies and singing styles found in Urban Contemporary Gospel. The Kurt Carr Singers under Kurt Carr’s direction and musical influence have created six albums. Kurt Carr has won four Stellar awards.

Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But remember God heals God is a healer
Sometimes weapons form against you
But they'll never prosper remember God is your shield
He is waiting for your call waiting to shield you
From your fall there's a place of rest and peace in the sanctuary
He sits waiting in the sanctuary, yes yes yes
He sits waiting in the sanctuary, yes yes
(I feel you move)
(I feel a breakthrough)
Move, right now, move, in the sanctuary
I believe there's a miracle in the sanctuary and it's waiting for me
God is a healer
So thank God for the sanctuary
Sometimes your bills can stress you
But remember God's peace He's a peace giver
Sometimes your monies runnin' low
And you're worried how you'll make it
But God will supply your need

Who's your saviour? Doctor or God
Intro: Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Jeremiah 17:14. Don't Have Fear, Depend On God.
I. 2 Chronicles 16: 12-13 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians. 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
II. Exodus - Blood on the Doorpost (Exodus 12:6-7) and Passover. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed 1 Corinthians 5:7-8. Jesus is the Lamb of God (John 1:29) and (John 1:36). There's protection by the blood of Jesus Christ.
III. God Can And Still Possible
Hezekiah gets 15 more years of life after pleading with the Lord, Isaiah 38:1-8.
Conclusion: Prevention is better than cure. Before plague attacks be coverd with the blood of Lamb (Jesus Christ). Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. “ (Romans 5:9)
God bless you all, by pastor Paul Joseph.
