Kurt Carr's song 'Kumbaya' is a contemporary gospel piece that adapts the traditional spiritual 'Kumbaya' into a prayerful plea for God's presence and intervention. The lyrics repeat the phrase 'Kumbaya,' meaning 'come by here,' while expressing a deep need for blessing, miracles, and divine help. The song emphasizes dependence on God in times of trouble, with lines like 'Somebody needs you Lord' and 'I need a blessing Lord.' It carries a tone of earnest supplication, reflecting a communal and personal cry for God to shower down His grace and power.

[Chorus:]

Kumbaya Lord. Kumbaya. Kumbaya, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Kumbaya Lord. Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

Somebody needs you Lord Kumbaya. Kumbaya, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Somebody needs you Lord Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

Somebody's praying Lord Kumbaya. Kumbaya, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Somebody's praying Lord Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

Oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord.

Oh, Lord Kumbaya.

Oh, Lord. Lord Kumbaya.


I need a blessing Lord. Kumbaya. Kumbaya, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

I need a blessing Lord. Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

I need a miracle Kumbaya. Kumbaya, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

I need a miracle Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

Oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord.

Oh, Lord Kumbaya.

Oh, Lord. Lord Kumbaya.


[Bridge:]

Shower down on me. Shower down on me.

I need You to shower down on me.

Lord I'm down here praying.

Lord I need a blessing.
