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, One God. One God spent over 36 weeks in the top ten on Radio and Records and Billboard Gospel Singles charts. Currently, It Aint Over (Until God Says its Over) is enjoying similar chart topping success. In addition, the video for It Aint Over 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.

Maurette Brown Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down to your last ounce of faith.
I have the word just for your situation
To change what you think
To change what you say
Even when things all around you are failing
Seems like that's what's next for you
Now unto him that is able to do
(Choir repeat)
Chorus
Exceedingly, Abundantly above and beyond
He is Able
He is Able
Exceedingly, Abundantly above and beyond
He is Able

You may have tried everything you can think of,
Down to your last ounce of faith.

Even when things all around you are failing
Seems like that's what's next for you
Let me pronounce over you from Ephesians
Now unto him that is able to do

In Maurette Brown Clark's song He Is Able, the lyrics express the idea that no matter how much an individual has tried to change their situation or improve their life, they may have hit the point of exhaustion where they feel their faith is all used up. These lyrics provide a solution, that even in this seemingly hopeless state, there is a word that can change how they think and what they say. Despite the situation appearing to be failing or hopeless, the song pronounces over the listener that there is a higher power, denoted by Ephesians, who is able to do more than one could ever imagine, exceedingly and abundantly above and beyond.
The song comforts the listener by reminding them that God is a faithful God who never forgets His people, and they just need to put their trust in Him an prove Him. Essentially, the lyrics are about having faith that there is more beyond what one can see, and through faith and trust in a higher power, anything is possible, even the seemingly impossible. "He is able" becomes the mantra of the song as it is repeated over and over, driving home the idea that the power of faith can move the mountains and change lives.
