One of the first tenets of writing is to "write what you know" because compositions born out of personal experience resonate more clearly than any other. So when listeners pick up a copy of Jeremy Camp's debut album, they'll hear music born out of a faith that has been tested, a heart that's been broken and a man clinging to the goodness of God.
Twenty-four-year old Jeremy lost his wife of five months to cancer in February 2001 and out of that experience comes Stay, a rock/progressive pop album that reflects this artist's journey of faith. Includes "I Still Believe," "Walk by Faith" and "Take My Life."

I don't really listen to Jeremy Camp, but I think it is so sweet how he married his wife when he knew she had cancer, knowing that she could die...it's like a real-life "A Walk to Remember." So I like these songs because they were written when he was going through all that.
Scattered words and empty thoughts...| Posted November 07, 2007 ...seem to pour from my heart.
I'd never actually listened to any of Jeremy Camp's music before seeing him live, as this CD had only come out shortly before. My church's worship band at the time had been playing 'Burden Me', one of Jeremy Camp's earliest songs. I liked the song and it sparked my interest enough to go see Jeremy Camp live when I heard he was playing in town.
It was a very humble setting, with the local sound and light guys at the church running the whole show, and no other bands or artists playing before him. Just as this album lacks a certain layer of production and polish, this was no major label tour. However, an incredible night of inspiration followed, and that same atmosphere remains on this album.
There was not a dry eye in the audience as Jeremy shared his heartbreaking story about the loss of his wife to cancer just five months after they were married. His testimony that night, and the beautiful restoration that has occured in his life since that time, is a story that most people following Christian music are now quite familiar with.
The songs that he wrote as he was going through that experience have remained a source of inspiration to this day, and I still put this CD on whenever I'm feeling down in the dumps. This is an album that no Christian should be without, regardless of your preferred type of music, and a glance at the lyrics for I Still Believe and Walk by Faith should be all the convincing it takes.
My Highlights: I Still Believe, Walk by Faith, Take My Life
The only place I can go is into Your arms
Where I throw to You my feeble prayers
In brokenness, I can see that this was Your will for me
Help me to know that You are near
