Maurette's first CD, How I Feel, was released in 1998 on Verity Records. This CD featured the radio friendly, "Breaking of Day." For this work, she received the Stellar Award for Best New Artist in 2000.
Her second CD, By His Grace, was released in 2002 on AIR Records, and featured her popular rendition of the praise and worship anthem, "I Just Want to Praise You." This CD, as well, received a Gospel Music Workshop of America Gospel Excellence Award and two Stellar Award nominations. She was also nominated for a Dove Award for her participation in a remake of the Donnie McClurkin classic, "Stand," featuring Marvin Sapp, Daryl Coley, and Helen Baylor.
Maurette's latest CD, entitled The Dream was released on Malaco Records in March 2007, and features the soon-to-be praise and worship anthem, ΒOne GodΒ. ΒOne GodΒ spent over 36 weeks in the top ten on Radio and Records and Billboard Gospel Singles charts. Currently, ΒIt AinΒt Over (Until God Says itΒs Over) is enjoying similar chart topping success. In addition, the video for ΒIt AinΒt OverΒ is being shown on the Gospel Music Channel, the WORD Network, BET and BETJ.
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.
Not one to be limited, you can hear Maurette's co-production work on the theme song, "Down in the Hole," for HBO's The Wire (Season 4), which is available on The Wire soundtrack CD in stores now.
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.
Has God Done Anything for You?
Maurette Brown Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has He done anything for you
Tell me has He done anything for you
Then you oughta clap your hands
Sing hallelujah as loud as you can
Shout if you want to
But tell me how can you just sit there
Did he wake you up this morning
(He wake me up this morning)
Did He start you on your way
Let you see a brand (He did it) new dawning
You rose to see the break of day
Were you really all that good (No)
Did you serve Him like you should
(Could've done better)
Yet God was faithful and just to forgive you
Each and every time
Oh, Oh you owe God a praise
Oh, Oh you owe Him
You owe Him a praise, Oh
Has he done anything
