Seven-time Stellar Award winner and 2x Grammy-nominated recording artist, VaShawn Mitchell, will be conducting a live recording for his newest album, “Chapter X” at Sound Board at Motor City Casino Hotel on Monday, October 31 at 7pm. This album embarks on the journey of “newness” with a new sound and energy that his fans are going to love!

When asked about this new chapter, Mitchell says, “I’m excited to be in the creative space again to write, sing and produce music that will live in the hearts of listeners around the world. These songs will encourage, empower and uplift both now and for generations to come.”

“Newness”, as he defines, is “an overall recharge from the inside out”. He’s embarked on a new health and wellness plan, he’s exploring new fashion as well as a new sound in his music. “I want my fans to get ready for something completely different and unexpected from me.” After the death of his grandmother, Mitchell admits to falling into a deep depression. “She was my rock…my everything” he says.  Now having grieved the loss of one of his greatest heroes, he knows his fans have missed him, and he is excited to launch this new chapter in the great City of Detroit!

“There Is God” – LYRICS

There is love that is like no other
There is strength that will pull you through
There is God standing in your corner
There is nothing, nothing He can’t do

There is grace that has no measure
There is mercy that has no end
There is life for you, there is joy and pleasure
There is God, He’s your closest friend

There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is
(There’s God)
There is, there is God

There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is God

There is hope for the brokenhearted
There is peace for the troubled soul
There is hope for the one discarded
There is God that is control

There is hope for the brokenhearted
There is peace for the troubled soul
There is hope for the one discarded
There is God that is control

There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is God

There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is
There is, there is God

He is, He is
He is, He is
He is, He is
He is, He is God

He is, He is
He is, He is
He is, He is
He is, He is God

(He is God!)
He is God
He is God
(Jehovah-jireh
Jehovah-jireh)
He is God
(He’s the God that He is
He’s the God that saves)
He is God

One of the most beloved reigning voices and musical trailblazers in Gospel, with the undeniable ability to minister and harvest a transformative atmosphere, Donnie McClurkin does just that in his transformative new single “Not Yet” Written by McClurkin and co-produced by Trent Phillips, the poignant single comes at a significant time in McClurkin’s testimony, divinely inspired following his experience of God’s omnipresent power in surviving a recent serious car accident.

The single carries a potent reminder that even in the midst of our crisis God has the final word, and if He has declared not yet the circumstance will move in our favor.

The Three Time Grammy winner shared;

“From my heart to yours, I’m so excited to share this brand new single with you,This song was spontaneously borne during a Sunday morning worship experience. Glory to God, and His divine covering over us! Remember your time is not up, God says, Not Yet.”

Indeed, we cannot die, Not when we are yet to attain all God has destined for us.

LYRICS

Thought it was the end this time
God said “Not yet”
I thought that I would lose my mind
God said “Not yet”
Thinkin’ ’bout my yesterday
Wondering how I got away
But death heard Jesus say
That he said “Not yet”

Just when I was gonna quit
God said “Not yet”
I said let somebody else have the place
But he said “Not yet”
I thought that I had done so wrong
Feeling like my time was gone but
God gave me this song to tell you
“Not yet”, oh yes

I can’t die right now
I got work to do
I can’t waste no time
And he brought me through
Heaven can wait for me
I got a destiny
And I’m walking in victory
God said “Not yet”

Oh, not yet
God is talking to you (“Not yet”)
Hear the Lord say (“Not yet”)
Every one listen when God said (“Not yet”)
Hear the lord say to you (Oh “Not yet”)
Oh, God said (“Not yet”)
It’s not over for you (“Not yet”)
God said (“Not yet”)
You can’t throw in the towel (Oh “Not yet”)
Can’t give up now (“Not yet”)
No, you can’t stop now (“Not yet”)
Not yet (“Not yet”)
Heard the word of the Lord say (Oh “Not yet”)
It’s not over for you, no (“Not yet”)
No, not yet (“Not yet”)
Not yet, no (“Not yet”)
You’re not going nowhere (“Not yet”)
It’s not time to leave (“Not yet”)
It’s not time for you (“Not yet”)
You gotta be (Oh “Not yet”)
You got to be today (“Not yet”)
Not yet
Death, get away (Oh “Not yet”)
Death, get away (“Not yet”)
Death, get away (“Not yet”)
God said “Not yet”

Oh, not yet, not yet
You, not yet
God said “Not yet, not yet, no”
