'You Stayed' by Natalie Grace: The Song of Unwavering Hope and Salvation


The lyrics of Natalie Grace's 'You Stayed' were inspired by her daughter's innocent a pondering, 'He stayed?'. Quite some years ago, when Natalie's daughter was really young, she was reading a story to her daughter about Jesus dying on the cross. It talked about how he could have saved himself - he didn't have to go through this suffering, but he chose to stay because He loved us and knew that this was the only way for us to be saved. Her daughter's sweet little voice just kept asking, 'He stayed???' Natalie thought this was so powerful since they had spent a lot of time singing about how He didn't stay in the grave. There wouldn't have been a resurrection if Jesus hadn't stayed to finish His work on the cross. 'You Stayed' reminds us of God's immense compassion and sacrifice for us. 

Natalie Grace - You StayedThe beauty of 'You Stayed' comes from its simplicity. Natalie Grace brings us closer to the heart of Jesus' sacrifice through her honest and open lyrics. Jesus could have called a legion of angels to rescue Him, but He was committed to the sacrifice that would bring us salvation. He chose to stay, showing such deep love that He would rather die on the cross than leave mankind trapped in their misery. His choice serves as the cornerstone of our faith. 

'You Stayed' gives us hope and courage during our own struggles, times when we feel abandoned, lost, or unworthy. God's love shines brightest in these times, reminding us that we are never too far gone for His grace to save us. Grace that is available for each and every one of us today because He stayed.

(Related scripture: Matthew 26:53; Isaiah 53:5)

"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....

'Spirit' by Alexander Reign: A Musical Prayer of Surrender

Alexander Reign's song 'Spirit' is a cry of the soul in trying times, seeking God's guidance and surrendering completely to Him, just as the psalmist cried out in Psalm 118:5. The lyrics capture the raw honesty of our struggles, and it is in this space that we admit that we cannot navigate life alone, but need Divine guidance. We often find ourselves at a crossroads, in a state of despair and confusion. We might identify with lyrics like 'It's hard to hide my flaws' . Reaching out to the Divine is an effective solution to these turbulent times, echoing the words, 'Spirit lead me / Cause you're all I want.' 'Spirit' is more than just a song; it's a testimony shared in the universal language of music, resonating with anyone seeking divine strength. Its verses encourage us to grow in faith and resilience by wearing God's armor in the face of life's challenges. We, too, are given the ability to shine His light within us, as the so...
