“Lost Souls” is a song mixed with head-shaking sadness, regret but also hope. In the end, at least the soul seeking salvation doesn’t lose his will to know God. He just decides to watch church on television, and catch some episodes of “Bobby Jones,” instead. It’s compelling songwriting: grabs your attention and doesn’t let go.
You may be unfamiliar with the Chicago-based Carter, but that’s because he is usually behind the scenes writing songs for the likes of DeWayne Woods and the Chicago Mass Choir. His “I Cannot Tell It All” for Chicago Mass was covered by the southern gospel group, the Talley Trio. Carter is now in front of the microphone on his debut album, Philippians 4:13, from which this single is taken.

Thank you for covering Mr. Carter on your blog.
The Blog is really nice and it is really nice to cover Mr Carter in the blog.
Hi Bob,
This entire project is on point as it relates to our relationship with God and the body of believers. God has anointed Kevon with ole’ school values with a contemporary flare. Kevon’s gifts as a psalmist, songwriter and musician are a true blessing to all who have witnessed his music ministry.
Hi, Sonja — thank you for your comments! Hope God is blessing you and your family “More Abundantly!”

I love to see Kevon ministering. He is so passionate about the musical/vocal gifts that God has blessed him with. The world will soon know this Kevon Carter.
