Lyrics
Verse 1: Chandler Moore
Coming back to You
Not just coming, but I'm running
Beneath the surface
And what my eyes have seen
Past the temporary, yeah
I hear You beckoning, yeah
To fall a little deeper, yeah
Further than I've ever known
I'm breaking through the boxes, yeah
I'm running to Your throne
Chorus: Chandler Moore
And I'm coming back to You, ooh
I'm coming back to You, ooh
I'm coming back to You, ooh
I'm coming back to You, ooh
Verse 2: Chandler Moore & Maryanne J. George
What's every other option, yeah
When I know the sweetest choice? (Oh, my God)
My flesh may be a beggar (Yes, it is)
But my spirit knows Your voice (Yes, it does)
And I won't be satisfied (No, no, no)
With temporary pleasures (No)
I wanna taste and see in full (Yes, I do, Lord)
What I've only known in measures
Chorus: Chandler Moore & Maryanne J. George
Let's sing it out y'all, say:
I'm coming back to You, ooh
I'm coming back to You, ooh
I'm coming back to You, ooh
I'm coming back to You, ooh
Spontaneous: Chandler Moore & Maryanne J. George
All the way, all the way, all the way back
Coming back to what we've always known, Jesus
It's our first love, our first love

You don't make me come the whole way alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Spoken: Chandler Moore
What I love about the story of the prodigal son is that when the son made-up, when the Bible said he came to his senses and he was ready to go back, first thing is that he was ready to go back as a slave though he was a son. He was ready to start from the bottom and do something that he was undervalued for. And when the father brought him back, he not just brought him back as a son but he rewarded him with a celebration as if he was there all along. The other thing is that the Bible says that as the son was going back home, that he was not the only one running and going. The Bible says that the father was not just sitting on a porch, waiting for him to come, and just looking at him afar off. The Bible says when the father saw him, that the father begins to run to him, too. And in the Jewish cultures, kings don't run. Like, kings aren't supposed to be running with their long dresses and stuff. But the father broke the rules of normality because his son was in need. And the father began to run, too. So that's why we just say, we just get so excited when we say...

Outro: Chandler Moore
Not just coming, but I'm running
You're not just coming, but You're running
To my rescue
You're not just coming, but You're running
When You see Your son or daughter in pain
In stress and frustration
Lacking joy
You're not just coming, but You're running
All the way, all the way, all the way back

Meaning & Inspiration
To You frames repentance as a return to the Father rather than a reluctant step toward rejection. The verses move past temporary pleasures and familiar limits, describing a person who recognizes God’s voice and runs toward his throne. Its repeated language of coming back gives the song the shape of confession, while the desire to taste and see recalls the biblical invitation to discover the Lord’s goodness.
The spoken section and later bridges explicitly draw on Jesus’ parable of the lost son. In that account, the returning son expects the status of a servant, yet the father runs to meet him and restores him within the family. The song develops that image through two movements: the child runs home, and the Father runs in welcome. References to coming to one’s senses, releasing offenses, and refusing to look back reinforce repentance and restored belonging. The central message is that returning to God meets not indifference, but compassionate welcome and renewed fellowship.
