Camp was raised in a Christian home and drew musical inspiration from worship music and secular tunes alike. Touchstone albums in his artistic development include U2's The Joshua Tree, Delirious?' King of Fools , Jars Of Clay's debut album, Jars of Clay, and Steven Curtis Chapman's The Great Adventure.
When one of the worship leaders at the school heard Camp playing with some friends at his dormitory, he urged him to become involved with their music ministry program, and soon he was performing at Christian music events all over California, recording a self-released disc called Burden Me in 2000.
At one such appearance, Camp met a young woman named Melissa, and the two struck up a friendship that blossomed into a romance. When Melissa broke off the relationship after a few months, Camp was crushed, but when he next saw her, her life had taken a serious turn -- she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was in the hospital. When Melissa went into remission, Camp married her, but after their honeymoon, they discovered the cancer had returned, and in early 2001 she passed on; she was only 21.
Camp poured both his sorrow and the faith that helped see him through into his music, and in 2002 he was signed to BEC Recordings, who released his first nationally distributed album, Stay; it was both a critical and commercial success, and five songs from the disc reached the top of the Christian singles chart. While touring in support of Stay, Camp met singer Adrienne Leisching, former singer with the Benjamin Gate; the two hit it off, and in 2003 they were married, and have since been blessed with two daughters.
In 2004, Camp released his second album for BEC, Carried Me: The Worship Project, which matched the gold record success of Stay, and Camp won two Dove Award trophies for Best Male Vocalist and Best New Artist. In 2005, Camp released two albums -- a studio set, Restored, which rose to number 45 on the Billboard Top Albums chart and spawned three number one Christian singles, and a live disc, Live Unplugged from Franklin TN. Camp also recorded the song "Open Up Your Eyes" for the soundtrack of the hit film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which earned him another Dove Award. The fall of 2006 brought another studio set from Camp, Beyond Measure, which reached number 29 on the Billboard charts and produced two more hit singles.
Speaking Louder than Before, his sixth album, was released on November 25, 2008.
The Way Songfacts reports that his seventh album, We Cry Out: The Worship Project , was released on August 24, 2010, and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart.

The song "Walk By Faith" by Jeremy Camp speaks to the idea of trusting in God's plan and guidance, even when it may not be clear or visible. The verses start off questioning whether the singer truly believes in God's promises to guide them every step of the way, but ultimately lead to a declaration of unwavering faith.
The chorus drives home the message, with the lyrics "Well I will walk by faith, even when I cannot see, well because this broken road prepares your will for me." It sets the stage for the idea that even when life's journey seems uncertain or difficult, the struggles can all be part of God's greater plan and purpose.
The bridge speaks to the singer's own personal flaws and insecurities, acknowledging their brokenness but finding comfort and renewal in God's grace. The repetition of "well hallelujah" at the end of the song serves as a joyful exclamation of faith and gratitude.
Overall, "Walk By Faith" is a powerful reminder to trust in something larger than ourselves and to find peace in the unknown.

You didn't fall for this video by chance, it's no coincidence, it came to you to let you know that God speaks and is speaking to you now! Yes, the message is great, but it won't take just a few minutes to read what will help you at that moment.
Even if you lack words to pray, just stay in the presence of the Lord without saying anything, let the tear flow if necessary, He loves you not for what you say or do, He decided and chose to love you. He wants your presence more than your words. He himself attracted you to this video, so you know it's not the end, it's not over, He's the one who has the last word.
There is a way out, there is a solution, Jesus is the good news, the good news of the gospel. You may have tried in every way, and have no more strength, that doesn't mean an end, but experience, learning, a path built for the witness to be given to be even greater. He is patient, He is long-suffering.
Just let the Lord have it his way! Take your hand off the control and let Him control. Your anxiety and sadness may be great, but far superior and unmatched in power is the Lord to change everything. He doesn't accelerate, because we are too agitated, the Lord has his own control. He knows the right time to act, the time to manifest His power, we don't need to try to call His attention to us, because we already have it. He removed the separation there was for us to approach Him.
The Lord has His eyes on your life, He is seeing you and not with your back to you, He hears you, sees you and remains with you, even if you don't feel and feel the most dirty and unworthy. He is faithful even when we are not, He does not go away because He said He would never do it.
You didn't take the Lord by surprise the way it is, He has a plan and purpose even at the moment you are living too. Recall all the Lord has done, even before you thought to consider His will. Where you are and how you are is the place and the way for the Lord to change and use you, because the power is not yours to change, but His in your weakness.
Enough of listening to Satan's lies in which the Lord seeks perfect people to love, remember that the Lord seeks the sick and those who are nothing. Peter's stumbles were part of his story, but they weren't permanent to end his entire story with the Lord. If the Lord did not come to Peter, Peter would never come to Him. And that's what the Lord does to you right now, if He didn't come to you through these words, you would never turn to Him. You ask, you question, and when He answers, what will He do?
He tells you, my son, my daughter, just come back. Yes, as is. I am the one who cleans you. It is I, an inexhaustible source of everything you need, and I am pleased to help you, satisfy you, feed you, strengthen you.
Can a baby bathe itself and change its clothes? Or will it not be necessary for the Father to cleanse and change his garments? It is I who make everything new in you, the glory is mine, and all power is mine to lift you up. I, myself, who am the only one who can destroy your body and make your soul perish, I choose to forgive you. I came not to destroy the souls of men, but to save them. I am the one who speaks to forgive up to 70x7, wouldn't I be able to forgive much more?
Remember who the Lord is, don't see Him through your eyes, but through what the word says.
Guilt has a solution, He transforms guilt into relief, the one who has no way, or is lost, He is the way. The Lord knows where you are. Remorse He removes and yes, He gives solace and takes away the pain.
Sometimes we miss living what we already lived in His presence and sometimes it seems that we will no longer live in the same way, but that is not true, the Lord is God for the other and for us too. He does, undoes, redoes and makes it all new again. He is our savior, precisely because we can never save ourselves by our strength or by our religiosity.
He prunes to bear more fruit, the loss is not always by mistake, sometimes it is the Lord's dealing to bear even more fruit. Jesus is God of new beginnings and new opportunities, Jesus is happy to help you and bring hope and the good news of the Gospel to you too whenever you need it. He loved you when you were unworthy and unworthy, much greater now is His love for you who are now a son, a daughter. The enemy tries to make us believe that the love of the Lord is a lie and is conditional, as a way of saying that the Lord is a liar, but no, it is not true, the Lord loves and loves you unconditionally, stay in His love. Just stand firm in Him and not to the deceit of your heart. The Lord will honor a heart that makes every attempt to be at His disposal.
Just stand before the Lord and say, Lord Jesus, here I am, forgive me for sinning against You. Where the Lord sends me, I will go. Whatever the Lord wants of me, I will do. Take complete control of this life you've given me. Fill me with your Holy Spirit completely, break all the chains that try to imprison and paralyze me. Change my robes, heal my wounds, put your full armor on me. Do everything the Lord wants, I surrender to you, I surrender to you, because I am not afraid of your will, because it is good, perfect and pleasant, it just doesn't let me live without you, that my heart could not bear. Know that this is not by chance, Jesus is God of improbabilities and impossibilities, He knew it was necessary for you to know these words at that moment. He is the good Father, the good Shepherd, who has already given his life for you, just live gratefully to that love, and exhale that love wherever you go.
He doesn't choose wrong, He knew from the beginning who he was choosing, by choosing to save you and save me, it's not our halfway that will nullify or invalidate what Jesus chose to do. Not even sin can stop Jesus, He won. He knows what it's like to suffer, what it's like to be abandoned, what it's like to suffer injustice, what it's like to be betrayed, humiliated, persecuted, suffer temptation, go through needs and trials. He is not a King, who stays in the palace and sees everything from afar without getting his clothes dirty, He is the King, who gives himself up, who takes our scent in Him, who bled for us, who hurt not only his hands for us, but he gave his life. That's why His love constrains us, because we see how we don't deserve it, but that's what makes this love more necessary and true.
The one who said to love the enemy, how could he not love us as children? Would He do less than what He asked of us? On the contrary, He has already proved that He goes further. Accept this love.

I had thyroid surgery 4 months ago and the diagnosis said thyroid cancer, very shocking & heart breaking! That was the lowest point in my life. I prayed for thousand angels to protect me and yes, thousands wingless angels come to the rescue, they strengthened and helped me get up and try again.
Since operation done, my voice was gone until today, and i found my cancer is gone after laboratory test conducted twice, i insist to do it twice to make sure all clean.
And i don't need to take any medicine, i don't need to undergo any chemotherapy treatment, I Still Believe there is A Miracle. This is one of them.
“I Still Believe” and “Walk By Faith” remind me of this:
And also never at a time has anyone worked a miracle before he had faith. Therefore they first believed in the Son of God (Ether 12:12, 18).
I hope my testimony strengthens and blesses many people. Amin.

Walk By Faith was one of the first songs I ever released. And all these years later, the message of the song still rings true. In a time where all that we can hold onto is our faith in Jesus, these words are still encouraging me. I hope they encourage you as well.
I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Because this broken road
Prepares your will for me
@VonnieMichelle
JeremyCampMusic That’s it! When we truly know Jesus, we KNOW He will never let us down & He has a Devine purpose for every single pain, heartbreak & tear. It’s about choosing to trust in those times what we KNOW to be true, and not what we FEEL because our feelings can sometimes deceive us, especially when they tell us things that go against who God is & the truth in His word. God bless! 💕
@magdaleneburt
The words encouraged me back when I first heard them those years ago and still do just as much today as I listen to this new release. Thank you for continuing to serve God with the gifts he has given you and for encouraging us to keep trusitng!

When this song first came out, it helped me get through the loss of my husband after 37 yrs of marriage.
