The Dream is Maurette's very first live concert recording and it truly captures the essence of her heart for God. For this effort, she was awarded the 2008 Stellar Award for Praise and Worship CD of the Year. Her daughter Jada received the 2008 Stellar Award for Children's Performance of the Year for her song, "I am what God says I am", also featured on The Dream.

She happily maintains her status as a member of Richard Smallwood's choir, Vision.
This singer/songwriter/producer/ musician/wife and mom knows that with God, nothing is impossible and her life and music are a testimony to that fact.
Even In the Rain
Maurette Brown Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't guarantee a permanent smile
Everyday can't always be sunny
Rain has got to come afterwhile
That same rain has a purpose
To wash your tears away
Believe me when I say
Even in the rain
There are times when you feel
I'm not with you
Troubles of life
Are weighing you down, down
Just know that I'm right there
I'm with you
All you gotta do is look around
Look around
I'm in the winds, the waves,
Yes even your storm
So don't rush those clouds away
Believe me it's okay
I'm working, even in the rain
Even in the rain
Trials may come they won't last too long
Hold fast
I'll be there like I said I would
Understand that it's all in My plan
Even though you may not see it
It's working for your good.
I'm working, I'm working
Even in the rain
Said I'm working, I'm working
Even in the rain
Even in the rain, even in the rain
So go through your rain
Go through your pain
Go through your storm
Go through your cloudy days
Brighter days are coming
Brighter days are coming
Brighter days are coming
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
I see the tears you cry
I see the pain in your eyes
I see it, I see it, I see it
Feels like it's too heavy
Feels like you can't take the weight
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm working
Hold on, hold on, hold on
The song “Even In The Rain” by Maurette Brown Clark is a powerful message about the struggles and hardships of life, and how faith and trust in God can help overcome them. The lyrics remind the listener that life is not always easy and that hard times will come, but there is a purpose behind them. The rain, as a metaphor for difficult times, can serve to wash away tears and allow for growth and renewal. The song also expresses the idea that God is always with us, even in our darkest moments. The wind, waves, storms and clouds are all reminders of His presence and His ongoing work in our lives.
The chorus, “I’m working, even in the rain”, speaks to the idea that even though we may not understand why we’re going through tough times, there is a plan in place and faith in God can help us weather the storm. The song encourages the listener to hold on and trust in God, reminding us that brighter days are coming. It serves as a reminder that no matter what we’re going through, we’re not alone and there is a divine purpose in everything.

Never said the way would be easy
God did not promise an easy journey
Didn't guarantee a permanent smile
He did not promise that life will always be great
Everyday can't always be sunny
There will be rainy days in life
Rain has got to come afterwhile
After the rain, there will be sunshine
That same rain has a purpose
The challenges in life serve a purpose
To wash your tears away
They help you grow and learn
Believe me when I say
Trust in God
I'm working, even the rain
God is working through every challenge
There are times when you feel
Sometimes you feel alone
I'm not with you
And God seems distant
Troubles of life
Life's difficulties
Are weighing you down, down
Are causing you pain and struggle
Just know that I'm right there
Know that God is there
I'm with you
He is always with you
All you gotta do is look around
He is in the world around you
I'm in the winds, the waves,
He is in nature
Yes even your storm
Even in the toughest of times
So don't rush those clouds away
Don't try to avoid challenges
Believe me it's okay
Trust that it will be okay
Trials may come they won't last too long
Challenges won't last forever
Hold fast
Stay strong
I'll be there like I said I would
God will always be there
Understand that it's all in My plan
Trust that God has a plan
Even though you may not see it
Even if you don't understand
It's working for your good.
God is working for your benefit
So go through your rain
Go through the hard times
Go through your pain
Even when it hurts
Go through your storm
Through the toughest of times
Go through your cloudy days
Endure the challenging moments
Brighter days are coming
Better times are ahead
Hold on, hold on
Stay strong, hold on
I'm coming, I'm coming
God is coming to help
I see the tears you cry
He sees your pain
I see the pain in your eyes
He knows your struggles
Feels like it's too heavy
You may feel overwhelmed
Feels like you can't take the weight
You may feel like giving up
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Stay strong, don't give up
I'm working
God is always working
