Terrian - Stayed On Him (Isaiah 26:3) Lyrics
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
Terrian’s “Stayed On Him (Isaiah 26:3),” released as part of her 2021 EP *Genesis of Terrian*, is a powerful and timely anthem rooted deeply in the unfailing promise of peace found in scripture. This track isn't just a melody; it's a theological declaration, a sonic embodiment of a profound truth that has resonated with believers for millennia. The song draws its very essence from Isaiah 26:3, a verse that speaks to the steadfast guarding of those whose minds are fixed on God, leading to perfect peace. Terrian masterfully translates this ancient assurance into a contemporary soundscape, offering a refreshing perspective on the enduring nature of God’s protection and the human capacity to access it.
The core message of “Stayed On Him” is an exploration of the profound correlation between our focus and our peace. The lyricism, while not explicitly quoting verse by verse, encapsulates the spirit of Isaiah's vision: that unwavering devotion to the Almighty is the bedrock of tranquility, even amidst life’s storms. This is a theme echoed throughout Scripture, from the Psalms where David repeatedly declares his trust in God as his refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1) to the New Testament, where Jesus Himself promises a peace that the world cannot give (John 14:27). Terrian’s rendition invites listeners to consider where their ultimate allegiance lies. When our attention is consumed by anxieties, by the fluctuating circumstances of the world, or by our own limitations, peace often eludes us. Conversely, when our thoughts are deliberately anchored in God’s character, His promises, and His presence, a deep, unshakeable peace can emerge, as promised in Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." The song serves as a practical, accessible reminder that this isn't a passive state but an active choice, a conscious redirection of our inner focus.
The impact of “Stayed On Him” lies in its ability to make this scriptural concept tangible and inspiring. It’s a musical invitation to cultivate a spiritual discipline, encouraging listeners to actively “stay” on Him. This is more than just a fleeting thought; it’s a sustained mental and emotional orientation towards the divine. This echoes the teaching in Colossians 3:2: "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Terrian’s presentation suggests that when we align our internal world with God’s eternal truth, we tap into a source of peace that transcends external pressures. The song’s relatable articulation of this spiritual principle makes it a valuable devotional tool for anyone seeking to strengthen their faith and experience the promised peace that Isaiah foresaw, a peace that is not merely the absence of trouble but the presence of God Himself within it, a comforting truth found in Romans 15:13: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
