Kurt Carr and the Kurt Carr Singers deliver a stirring gospel anthem in "Surely God Is Able," a song that reassures believers of God's unwavering ability to sustain them through life's trials. The lyrics acknowledge the uncertainty of the journey but affirm that God knows the way and will help carry heavy burdens. Drawing on biblical imagery such as Daniel in the lion's den, Ezekiel's wheels, Moses' burning bush, and Solomon's rose of Sharon, the song underscores God's power and faithfulness. It also highlights His role as a protector and provider for the vulnerable, offering joy in sorrow and hope for tomorrow. The repeated declaration "He's able to carry you through" serves as a powerful confession of trust.

[Chorus:]
Surely, surely, surely, surely,
He's able to carry you through.
Surely, surely, surely, surely,
He's able to carry you through.

As pilgrims we sometimes journey
And we don't know which way to turn, turn, turn.
But there is One who knows the road,
(He'll help you) carry, carry
(your) heavy load.

Don't you know God is (able)
He's able, He's able;

Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus,
