Jonathan McReynolds' song 'Stay High' encourages believers to maintain a spiritually elevated state through prayer, reading Scripture, and resisting temptation. The lyrics use the metaphor of a bird in flight to illustrate that staying close to God makes one difficult for the enemy to trap. McReynolds emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant and focused on God's purpose, even when facing challenges from the world or family. The song draws on the biblical idea of mounting up with wings like eagles, urging listeners to stay high in faith and not come down for sin or distraction.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You can't catch a bird
While it's flying in the air
No you gotta wait
Til it comes to the ground
And you can't trap a saint
While their in mid flight
No, the devil's gotta wait
Til we come down
So I'll stay high
I ain't coming down for no reason,
I'll be reading my word
I ain't coming down for no satan,
I'll be praying to my Lord
I ain't coming down for no sinning,
While I'm living for my God
I ain't coming down for nobody
No I'll just stay high
High, high, high
So watch me fly
Fly, fly, fly
See we live with targets
On our backs
Cause all heaven and hell
Knows our worth
So I'm standing guard
Cause life's coming hard
Soon as we walk out the church
So I'll stay high
I ain't coming down for no reason,
I'll be reading my word
I ain't coming down for no satan,
I'll be praying to my Lord
I ain't coming down for no sinning,
While I'm living for my God
I ain't coming down for nobody
No I'll just stay high
High, high, high
So watch me fly
Fly, fly, fly
Dumb old devil
You won't catch me now
You can't trap me now
You won't keep me down
Ohh
Cause I stay high
High, high, high
So watch me fly
Fly, fly, fly
Even when the service is over (just stay high)
And when your friends stay rolling in the dirt, no (just stay high)
When your family makes you want to curse, no (just stay high)
Someday we all gotta learn (to stay high)
Know that you've got a purpose (just stay high)
God has a plan so (just stay high)
Mount up on wings like an eagle (and stay high)
God help us, God help us (just stay high)
