Kirk Franklin Able arrives as the kind of anthem you clap along to and carry home — a short, sure statement: God is able. Released on September 26, 2025, “Able” is both a celebration and a reminder — a call to thankfulness even while we wait.  

If God can raise the dead, He can handle anything that you’re going through.

CeCe Winans

 “Able” is a celebration of God’s faithfulness — a tight, melodic pledge that God is still providing, still healing, and still making a way. That message — simple, scriptural, and urgent — is the song’s power.

Why this resonates now – Able by Kirk Franklin

There’s a long tradition in gospel music of pairing testimony with an immediately singable chorus — a theological claim made communal. “Able” does exactly that: it pairs a confident refrain with sober verses that land in the everyday places people search for hope. It’s not only a single — it’s a worshipable moment.  

God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue… He is able to do what you can’t. 

— Max Lucado, American Author & Minister

Lyric highlights – Kirk Franklin Able Lyrics

• Providence: The chorus repeats a profession of God’s ability — perfect for congregational singing.
• Theme: Gratitude in the waiting — a pastoral song for seasons of delay.
• Scriptural echo: The song’s theology sits comfortably alongside Ephesians 3:20; it assumes God is both able and at work. 

Bishop T.D. Jakes’ sermon on the same verse helps explain why songs like this catch fire in congregations: they translate doctrine into hope.  

Sometimes we get so caught up in what we’re waiting on, that we forget to thank Him for what He’s already done…
