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)

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
