Lyrics
I’ve been sneaking in the back row pew
Been a minute since I talked to You
Guess I’m hoping that You still recognize my voice
Lord knows I’ve been everywhere but here
This prodigal’s been known to disappear
If I were You I’da hit that give up on me point
Cause I don’t know where I’m going
And we both know where I’ve been
And if I’m being honest I’ll probably wind up there again
But I’m bowing my head cause the words in red
Are the only thing ringing true
They tell me there’s a God who loves me
God, I hope You still do
Preacher says there’s no too far gone
But he ain’t seen the road I’ve been on
This restless rebel’s heart is wander-prone
Momma’s voice keeps ringing in my ears
Talk to Jesus, you know He hears
You can go and make a million wrong turns
It only takes one to turn back home
[Chorus]
*Oh, I don’t know where I’m going
And we both know where I’ve been
And if I’m being honest I’ll probably wind up there again
But I’m bowing my head cause the words in red
Are the only thing ringing true
They tell me there’s a God who loves me
God, I hope You still do *
I’ve done a lot of running from
But I’m finally running to
The God I thought I didn’t need
God knows I still do
[Chorus]
*Cause I don’t know where I’m going
And we both know where I’ve been
And if I’m being honest I’ll probably wind up there again
But I’m bowing my head cause the words in red
Are the only thing ringing true
They tell me there’s a God who loves me
God, I hope You still do
Thank you that You still do *

Meaning & Inspiration
Still Do frames repentance as a return to prayer after distance, failure, and repeated wandering. The singer enters from the back row with uncertainty, yet the words of Jesus remain the clearest source of truth. That tension gives the song its central question: whether divine love still reaches a person who has run away and expects to fail again. The answer gradually emerges through the preacher’s assurance, a mother’s counsel, and the image of a single turn toward home.
The prodigal language closely recalls Jesus’ parable of the lost son, where the father receives the returning child with compassion. Rather than minimizing wrongdoing, the lyric admits wrong turns, restlessness, and resistance. Grace appears as the reason return is still possible. By the closing lines, running from God has become running to God, and anxious hope becomes gratitude. The song presents repentance not as earning acceptance, but as trusting that God still hears, welcomes, and loves the one who comes home.
