Jekalyn Carr - Stay With Me Worship Lyrics
Lyrics
Intro
...
Lift up your voice and cry out to Him
I give You my will, I give You my will
Spontaneous 1
You are the company that doesn't have to go
You can stay (just) as long as You like
Keep me as long as You like
Your will is my command
Whatever You need from me, God, I'll give it up to You
You ain't got to ask for it no more, I'll say, "Yes."
Somebody needs to open up your mouth
And tell Him, "Yeah!"
Interlude
Spontaneous 2
God; was looking for somebody
That He can find us in the right posture
That will make heaven move on their behalf
I need somebody, I know we're recording
But I need you to get up out of your seat
If you got to walk around, you walk around
But I need you to open up your mouth
And begin to pull on God tonight
Get in the right posture, get in the right posture
Somebody needs to be at the altar
Somebody needs to be at the altar
Get in your right posture
Get in it tonight, get in it tonight
Don't miss the wave, don't miss the wave
I just want to know if there's one?
I just want to know if there's one?
Anybody out there still love Him?
Interlude
Spontaneous 3
See, what you've got to understand is
Every time you open up your mouth in worship
Worship is an automatic...
It is an automatic, huh-huh, huh
A signal to the angels
To do whatever it is that God has instructed them
To do on your behalf
I wonder if there is somebody out here
Who will signal the angels tonight
Signal the angels
Signal them with your words
Refrain
You are the company that doesn't have to go
So, stay with me!
Outro
Somebody give Him praise
I said somebody give Him praise

Meaning & Inspiration
"Stay With Me Worship," released in 2018 as part of Jekalyn Carr's album *One Nation Under God*, is a powerful exhortation to an intimate and persistent relationship with God through praise. The song isn't merely a melody; it's an invitation to active participation in spiritual warfare and divine connection. Carr’s message centers on the profound impact of unyielding worship, emphasizing that our vocal expressions of adoration can actively influence the heavenly realm. The core idea is that God is not bound by human limitations or schedules; He is a constant presence, ready to dwell with those who earnestly seek Him. This concept echoes the sentiment found in Revelation 3:20, where Jesus stands at the door and knocks, waiting to enter and sup with us. The spontaneous sections of the song serve as a call to action, urging listeners to abandon passivity and embrace a posture of readiness and openness. Carr powerfully articulates that a surrendered will, a willingness to give whatever is needed without hesitation, is the key to unlocking God’s movement in our lives. This aligns with scriptures such as Romans 12:1, which encourages believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, an act of spiritual worship. Furthermore, the repeated emphasis on signaling angels through words of worship connects to the understanding that angelic hosts are sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation, as described in Hebrews 1:14. By speaking words of faith and praise, we are, in essence, issuing divine directives, activating heavenly support for our circumstances. The refrain, "You are the company that doesn't have to go, so, stay with me!", is a profound plea, recognizing God's inherent desire to remain present. It’s a declaration that in His presence is fullness of joy, as stated in Psalm 16:11, and the ultimate fulfillment of our spiritual longing. "Stay With Me Worship" is more than a song; it’s a theological declaration of our agency in inviting and retaining the divine presence through the intentional and unceasing act of worship.
