Essential Songs By Donnie McClurkin

By , About.com Guide

Donnie McClurkin has earned a trophy case full of Dove and Stellar Awards plus other honors including an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Gospel Artist. For a boy who came from a home ravaged by domestic violence and drug abuse, and who also, as an adult, fought and beat leukemia, this is more than just a simple success story. It is a testament to faith and God's grace and mercy.

1. "Speak To My Heart"

Donnie McClurkin - The Essential Donnie McClurkinVerity Records
Reminding us that following God means listening to our hearts, "Speak To My Heart" will minister to you in any circumstances.

From the song ...

Speak to my heart, Holy Spirit
Message of love to encourage me
Lifting my heart from despair
How you loved me and cared for me
If speak to my Heart

2. "We All Are One"

Donnie McClurkin - We All Are One (Live In Detroit)Verity Records
From Donnie’s first recording in five years, this album was recorded live in Detroit.

From the song ...

And we all are one
And we all are one
And we all are one in the Lord
Can we learn to love without prejudice?
Can we learn to live with togetherness?
Are we one united, are we undivided?
Are we past the past?
Are we free at last?

3. "We Fall Down"

Donnie McClurkin - The Essential Donnie McClurkinVerity Records
Donnie McClurkin's version of the classic is inspiration at the highest level.

From the song ...

We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
For a saint is just a sinner who fell down,
but we couldn't stay there,
and got up

4. "That's What I Believe"

Donnie McClurkin - The Essential Donnie McClurkinVerity Records
One of my favorite songs by Donnie, this one will stir you to the core of your soul.

From the song ...

So now every promise is mine, Lord
(It's mine)
I claim it
(Oh yes, I know It's mine)
By faith I receive it it's mine
(It's mine)
Won't leave here like I came
I'm never gonna be the same
I know (It's mine)
By faith I believe I believe
(Oh yes, I know It's mine)
Reach out and receive now
(It's mine)
Won't leave here like I came

5. "Days Of Elijah"

Donnie McClurkin - The Essential Donnie McClurkinVerity Records
One listen and you will understand why this tune made the "Essential" album as well as the essential list.

From the song ...

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord, yes
And these are the days of his servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored
And these are the days of great trial
Of famine and darkness and sword
So we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
