Lyrics
I don’t want to be familiar
Treat it like doesn’t matter
I don’t want lose the wonder
Of Your presence
I don’t want to come entitled
I want to run in like a child
Caught up in the joy and wonder
Of Your presence
I am coming back to first love
Coming back to Jesus
Coming back to You
No more going the motions
You’re my one devotion
I’m coming back to You
Cause I can feel a world of difference
Suddenly the room is shifting
I’m finding it again, the wonder of Your presence
I never wanna leave communion
Just wanna be where You’re moving
Caught up in the joy and wonder of Your presence
I am coming back to first love
Coming back to Jesus
Coming back to You
No more going the motions
You’re my one devotion
I’m coming back to You
I am coming back to first love
Coming back to Jesus
Coming back to You
No more going the motions
You’re my one devotion
I’m coming back to You
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
I am coming back to first love
Coming back to Jesus
Coming back to You
No more going the motions
You’re my one devotion
I’m coming back to You
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more to me
You’re all I need, nothing matters more to me
Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit’s like water to my soul
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus I love You, I love You
Jesus I love You, I love You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Coming Back” is a prayer of renewed devotion centered on the presence of Jesus. The opening verses reject familiarity and entitlement, choosing instead the wonder and joy associated with childlike approach. The recurring confession of returning to a first love gives the song the shape of repentance: empty routine is left behind, and Jesus becomes the singer’s single devotion.
Its later lines deepen that focus through communion, dependence, and affection. The declaration that nothing matters more than Jesus expresses reordered desire, while the image of God’s word as a lamp directly echoes the Psalms. The language of returning to first love also recalls Christ’s call to the church in Ephesus to remember and return. References to the Spirit as water and the name of Jesus as sweetness portray divine presence as sustaining and desirable. Across its repetitions, the song moves from concern about dull familiarity to a clear confession of love, need, and renewed attention to Christ.
