“I Want God just gets to the heart of the matter. Nothing else satisfies us unless we have a relationship with God”, says Brown Clark who wrote the song with producer Kenneth Shelton (Marvin Sapp, Kim Burrell). “I’m just singing my heart and hoping that it resonates with people” It’s already doing so with some radio programmers. “Maurette has given us another classic”, says Brodric Purvis, Program Director of WLOU in Louisville, KY. “I know my listeners will love this.”
The song’s earnest message and compelling vocal are true to who she is as an artist. “My intent has always been and still to this day, is to chase after God,” says Brown Clark who hosts the midday program “The Sound of Praise” on Radio One Baltimore’s Praise 106.1 station. “I never entered music ministry for any other reason than to try to tell people about Jesus. He found me, saved me, sticks with me and He has certainly blessed me beyond what I deserve. At the end of the day, stuff is good, recognition is good, things are good; but at the heart of the matter, all I’ve ever wanted was Him.”
