    Behind The Song: Matthew West Shares The Story Behind The Song “The God Who Stays”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 29 October, 2019 | 6

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matthew West. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “The God Who Stays.”

    “I remember the first time I heard ‘Defender’ I was driving down the road and my girl Rita Springer was belting out this new album in my car. I had to stop and literally go, ‘what is this song?’ It was so powerful. And I probably listened to it like ten times that day in a row. And I thought man I would love to put my spin on that song and to be part of it so we started doing it live and it was just my favorite moment of the night. The song is so anointed the way it connects with people; it’s so beautiful. And so putting it on this album was a dream come true for me.” – Francesca Battistelli

    “The God Who Stays” Lyrics

    If I were You I would’ve given up on me by now
    I would’ve labeled me a lost cause
    Cause I feel just like a lost cause
    If I were You I would’ve turned around and walked away
    I would’ve labeled me beyond repair
    Cause I feel like I’m beyond repair

    PRE-CHORUS
    But somehow You don’t see me like I do
    Somehow You’re still here

    CHORUS
    You’re the God who stays
    You’re the God who stays
    You’re the one who runs in my direction
    When the whole world walks away
    You’re the God who stands
    With wide open arms
    And You tell me nothing I have ever done
    can separate my heart
    From the God who stays

    VERSE 2
    I used to hide
    Every time I thought I let You down
    I always thought I had to earn my way
    But I’m learning You don’t work that way

    BRIDGE
    My shame can’t separate – my guilt can’t separate
    My past can’t separate – I’m Yours forever
    My sin can’t separate – my scars can’t separate
    My failures can’t separate – I’m Yours forever
    No enemy can separate
    No power of hell can take away
    Your love for me will never change
    I’m Yours forever
