Here to Stay (Studio) by Anthem Worship
About this Song
This is the studio version of Here to Stay by Anthem Worship – which was long-awaited after the acoustic version was released a few months prior.
The goal with this was to create a more polished, pop version of the song people can come to know and love. We produced this in partnership with Jared Jamieson (an amazing pop producer). It turned out great!

About Anthem Worship
Anthem Worship is the worship collective based out of Anthem x LLUC in Loma Linda, California.
Anthem was started in 2020, during the height of the pandemic on YouTube in lieu of in-person services. Rather than simply livestreaming standard worship service, the group was noted for the innovative approach to “studio church” through polished, internet-specific content that included original songs and unique arrangments of classic worship songs, along with polished studio-filmed teachings.
Anthem Worship released their debut EP in August of 2021, Universal Hearts, which included the original songs “You Are Strong” and “Universal Hearts,” along with the well-received electro-pop cover of Elevation Worship's “My Testimony.”
In March of 2022, the song Here to Stay was written. Impressed that the song was exactly what the world needed at the time when the pandemic was resurging and the war was breaking out in Europe, Anthem pastor Josh Jamieson and the team decided to release an acoustic version of the song within two weeks of writing it.

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
