Terrian - God With Us Lyrics
Lyrics
Be not dismayed, fear not the darkness
Jesus is here, He walks beside us
Gracious is He, through all our weakness
Forever faithful, forever good
Emmanuel, emmanuel
God with us, living inside
Emmanuel
Lift up our eyes, to the maker of heaven
He is our help, forever present
Faithful is He, He is our constant
Forever faithful, forever good
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God with us, living inside
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God with us, living inside
Emmanuel
No matter what, what storm may come
Our God is here, our God is here
When fear gives in, when darkness runs
Our God is here, our God is here
No matter what, what storm may come
Our God is here, our God is here
When fear gives in, when darkness runs
Our God is here, His name
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God with us, living inside
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God with us, living inside
Emmanuel

Meaning & Inspiration
Terrian’s "God With Us," released as a single on April 12, 2019, is a powerful declaration of divine presence and unwavering hope, resonating deeply with anyone navigating life's uncertainties. The song’s core message is a direct echo of the biblical promise of Immanuel, meaning "God with us," a concept central to Christian faith and foretold in Isaiah 7:14, which states, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: This is the virgin who will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." This prophecy finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, as Matthew 1:23 confirms, "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel—which means God with us." Terrian masterfully articulates this truth, assuring listeners that despite the presence of darkness and fear, Jesus walks beside us, a constant source of grace through our weaknesses. This resonates with the psalmist's assurance in Psalm 23:4: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
The lyrical emphasis on lifting our eyes to the "maker of heaven" underscores our reliance on God as our help and constant. This sentiment is beautifully captured in Psalm 121:1-2, which reads, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Terrian's reiteration of God's faithfulness, describing Him as "forever good," is a powerful reminder of His unchanging nature, as stated in Psalm 89:1: "I will sing of your love, Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations." The repeated refrain, "God with us, living inside," is a profound expression of the indwelling Holy Spirit, empowering believers to face any storm. This is directly linked to Jesus' promise in John 14:16-17: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth." The song's power lies in its direct, uncomplicated presentation of a foundational biblical truth, offering solace and encouragement by reminding us that we are never alone; the divine presence is an ever-present reality.
