Here to Stay (Acoustic) – Anthem Worship
About This Song
This song was written in collaboration between Anthem Worship and Evergreen Records. The goal was to write a song for the season that the church was in and could be sung at services.
The total time between writing the song and being released as an acoustic video was less than 3 weeks. It was just one of those things that came together FAST.
The song originally debuted at the church's “Vision Weekend” in March 2022, with people asking where they could hear it, so we recorded an acoustic arrangement to get a video out ASAP.
Brianna Cruz ended up singing the song and man she CRUSHED it. After running through it like twice she had the conviction of someone who had been singing it for YEARS.
The video was directed by one of our regular collaborators, Jared Jamieson (amazing pop producer and ALSO talented video creator), who also assisted on the production of the track.

Lyrics
Verse 1 Where do I turn to Where do I run When my mind says it's over You say it's not done In all of the chaos When the war has begun When the world says it's over I know you're not done Chorus You're the God of the future The God of the past The God of the moment Wherever I'm at Your victory is final It can't be undone The story's been written The battle's been won You're the God of today You're the God here to stay You're the God of today You're the God here to stay Verse 2 So where do we turn to Where do we run When the world says it's over We know you're not done Chorus You're the God of the future The God of the past The God of the moment Wherever I'm at Your victory is final It can't be undone The story's been written The battle's been won You're the God of today You're the God here to stay You're the God of today You're the God here to stay Bridge When sickness takes control He remains, He remains When death is all I know He remains, He remains When religion shuts the door He remains, He remains When I can't pray anymore He remains, He remains When I've lost all that I know He remains, He remains When kingdoms come and go He remains, He remains When my faith is at a loss He remains, He remains When we nailed him to a cross He remains, He remains Chorus You're the God of the future The God of the past The God of the moment Wherever I'm at Your victory is final It can't be undone The story's been written The battle's been won You're the God of today You're the God here to stay You're the God of today You're the God here to stay
