Christian Songs That Don't Fade

Mark Hall talked about the story behind this song, saying, "This song was inspired by the spreading cancer of moral failure in the fathers of this generation. As believers, we must guard our hearts and understand the no one crashes and burns. They just slowly fade away one little compromise at a time."

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Straight and to-the-point lyrics about reaching the point of no return, where you can no longer run from yourself and who you are, "Fade Away" was on Day of Fire's debut release.

I don’t wanna waste away
Like I saw myself fading yesterday
I don’t wanna feel the shame
I don’t wanna waste away

Talking about how much doubt and insecurity we struggle with on a regular basis, "Fade to Grey" was so popular that it was re-released on Much Afraid after orginally appearing on their indie release, Frail. The song made a third appearance in 2007 on The Essential Jars of Clay.

Cold is the night but
Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay
And if you follow me
You'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey

Jeremy and wife Adrienne hit every note on this beautiful pop/rock tune, making it one of the best from the CD (which is excellent in itself).

Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.

A standard that is performed in churches all around the world, this beautiful song looks beyond the trappings of worship to the heart of the matter.

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
