Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Jason Castro has released Stay This Way as the third single off his debut Christian release, Only a Mountain. I am glad he released this song to Christian Soft AC/Inspo, where it is one of the most added songs this week; Stay This Way is clearly one of his most musically mature, encouraging releases to date. I love the vocal work, the melodies, the instrumentation — this is one of Christian pop radio’s most viable for-add singles the past few months, and I really hope Inspo opens up to it, because this is a great, great song.
STAY THIS WAY Lyrics
Jason Castro
Are you right in a place where you don’t want to be?
Got your heart in the hands of an enemy?
I promise you
I’ve been there
I’ve been there, too
Have you tried but you failed to begin again?
And you feel like a slave to the cycle you are in?
I’ve been there
I’ve been there too
Listen to the words I say
You don’t have to stay this way
Just because you’re broken
Doesn’t mean you’re hopeless
Go ahead and turn the page
Don’t be afraid of better days
Put the past behind you
Grace has redefined you
You don’t have to stay this way
You can stand with your head held high, my friend
‘Cause the God of creation has made you innocent
I promise, I promise, that you are new
So listen to the words I say
You don’t have to stay this way
Just because you’re broken
Doesn’t mean you’re hopeless
Go ahead and turn the page
Don’t be afraid of better days
Put the past behind you
Grace has redefined you
You don’t have to stay this way
