'Stay Like This' by Grace Graves: Healing Through Music


'Stay Like This' by Grace Graves is the first song of a 4-song series called the 'Healing Series. The song addresses self-awareness and spiritual awakening. The series will explore themes of faith, struggle, and redemption. As the title for the series suggests, its intent is to spark healing, and Grace does that with lyrics that invite the listener to reflect on their own life. 

Grace Graves - Stay Like ThisIn 'Stay Like This,' Grace sings about a feeling that is all too familiar … how feeling stuck and wrestling with fears can cause a sense of paralysis. Grace sings: 'I've got so many questions, you say you've got the answers,' reminding us to tap into divine guidance to chase away our doubts. 

"Cause if I change nothing, nothing ever changes for me / And if I change nothing, I'm the definition of insanity", emphasizing how essential change is in order to flourish and grow. We need change in our lives! 

If your life feels stuck or full of fear, "Stay Like Me" offers hope and a reminder that faith is the road to true freedom. Do not miss this important message. Relax and listen for a moment. May the music and words inspire you to a moment of self-reflection and help you find a new direction in your journey of healing.

(Related scripture: Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:6-7; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
