Glass Hearts Worship - You Stay (CCM)

'You Stay' by Glass Hearts Worship is a powerful anthem that offers solace and hope in times of sadness and desperation. I encourage you to take a moment and listen to this touching song.

The background story behind 'You Stay' adds another layer of emotional depth. The songwriter, Meredith, penned this song during a difficult season when her child had to be admitted to a residential behavioral health center. In her vulnerability, she cried out to God, seeking comfort and assurance. In that moment, God whispered to her that He sees her, cares for her, and is with her child even when she cannot be. This divine reassurance of God's presence and care shines through the lyrics.

The verses beautifully describe God's closeness to the brokenhearted, His nearness to those who are suffering, and His unwavering presence with us in our wandering. The pre-chorus acknowledges that God sees, cares, and hears us without fail.

The chorus is a powerful declaration of faith. It proclaims that Jesus stays with us when others have gone away, running across the waves of our troubles, and holding us in the midst of storms. It's a reminder that we are not alone and that Jesus remains faithful and steadfast through every circumstance.

The bridge expresses the surrender of our highest praises and deepest fears to our King. It is a commitment to lift our voices and sing to Him in all aspects of life, from laughter to tears, from everyday moments to the passing of years.

'You Stay' is a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, God's presence is unwavering. It offers a message of comfort, reminding us that we are not alone, that God sees us, cares for us, and stays with us through it all.

I encourage you to listen to 'You Stay' by Glass Hearts Worship. Let the lyrics wash over you and bring healing to your heart. Allow this powerful song to remind you of God's faithfulness, His unwavering presence, and His ability to hold you in the storms of life.
