Salvatore James' New Song 'Stay' Is a Spiritual Reprieve We All Need


Salvatore James's brand-new song 'Stay' is about having faith in God 's timing and direction. This song is based on Proverbs 3:5–6 and John 14:27. It tells us that we shouldn't rely too much on what we know, but on His infinite wisdom. 

Salvatore James - StayThe lyrics are like a prayer to God. With lines like 'Light my way again' and 'Where would I be without you?' Salvatore is clear about the fact that the safest way to live is to follow the path He shows you. The lyrics show a deep respect for and reliance on God's guidance. They also warn us that depending on our own logic and gut feelings increases the risk that we are going off-course, which is exactly what's happening to a lot of people these days. The beauty is that this doesn't have to be the case for us. We can be assured that God will lead us to safety... if we are prepared to accept His guidance. 

This song was created in Salvatore's bedroom studio, and has an organic vibe to it. This is evident in the raw emotion behind the music. Salvatore used samples from Splice for this song and put together the drum patterns himself, creating a track that feels both personal and quite relatable. 

We believe that you won't want to miss this musical devotion filled with energy and hope. A song that gently encourages the listener to have faith in God's perfect timing and direction. When God says 'stay,' there's no better place to be.

(Related scripture: John 14:27; Proverbs 3:5-6; Philippians 4:6-7)

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: Forgiven by the Cross, Made Whole

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
