The second single from acclaimed singer/songwriter, Staci Frenes’ Meteor Shower CD, “What I Won’t Leave Without”, is currently sitting at #18 on the AC charts and #6 on CHR formats, and is connecting with both radio and live audiences nation-wide.

Already in rotation in several church worship music repertoires, as well as hundreds of radio stations across the nation, the driving pop/rock anthem expresses Frenes’ longing and persistence to encounter God. “Wherever I sing this song, I am seeing this hunger resonate with other believers. We are not playing church when we gather; we want see God and hear what He has to say to us, nothing less,” says Frenes.

Frenes’ home church of Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore, CA, a non-denominational church of 5,000+ where Staci periodically leads worship, added “What I Won’t Leave Without” to its weekend worship song list earlier this year. “The song connected with our fellowship from the first time Staci led it in worship,” says worship director, Scott Haus. Frenes, the sole songwriter, is offering the song (in mp3 or .wav format) and chord chart as free downloads for worship pastors who would like to lead it at their own church.

“Of all the songs on this new CD, this is the one I think people want to sing for themselves, to repeat as a prayer. David’s words. ‘as the deer pants for water, so my soul longs after You’ are ones we all echo within our spirit; this song has that same sense of yearning. I love that people are connecting with it so deeply.”

Staci and Band performed the song at Live From Studio B recently. You can view the video here.
