Lyrics
There's a world full of mercy and peace
Mercy and peace, waiting for me
There's a land for the lost and the least
Where they dine with King, waiting for me
Yeah, His holiness fills up the temple
Still He took my sin and my shame
I didn't deserve to be rescued
But still He has called me by name
I'll stand firm with confidence
Til He comes again, til He comes again
I'll keep my mind stayed on Him
Til the very end, til the very end
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
There's a savior with wounds you can see
In His hands and His feet, waiting for me
There's a place where His glory is seen
It's beyond my wildest dreams, waiting for me
I'll stand firm with confidence
Til He comes again, til He comes again
I'll keep my mind stayed on Him
Til the very end, til the very end
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I know
You're the God who reigns
I know
You're the God who saves
I know
That You walk on waves
I know
That You'll never change
I know
You're the God who reigns
I know
You're the God who saves
Yes, You walk on waves
I know, I know...
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him

Meaning & Inspiration
Stayed On Him builds its central confession directly around a mind fixed on God. Images of mercy, peace, rescue, and a welcoming kingdom surround that confession, giving perseverance a clear foundation: confidence rests in the character and saving work of God rather than in changing circumstances. References to the wounds of the Savior and sins being removed place grace at the center of the hope described.
The title and refrain clearly echo Isaiah 26:3, where steadfast trust and a mind stayed on God are joined with perfect peace. The song also looks toward the return of Christ and a place where divine glory is fully seen. Its bridge gathers several biblical portraits of God: the reigning King, the Savior, and Christ walking on the waves. Together, these lines turn mental steadfastness into worship, presenting endurance as repeated attention to the God who remains unchanged through the very end.
