“There’s a Higher Power” is a gospel song recorded by the Louvin Brothers, the Alabama duo of Ira and Charlie Louvin, who included it among the sacred material they released around 1959.
The song urges the listener to put trust in God rather than in other people. Its chorus turns on the repeated phrase “there’s a higher power,” answered by “amen,” and the message is one of leaning on faith when human help falls short.
The Louvin Brothers’ gospel songs, sung in their close brother harmony, passed readily into bluegrass. The version heard here is by the Kathy Kallick Band.
