Will Reagan - Never Going Back Lyrics
Lyrics
Faithful one no matter how far I run
You lead me home you extend your love
Patiently fathering the orphan in me
You say I am yours
I never am alone
I never am alone
You found me
I never am alone
I never am alone
You found me
And I've made up my mind
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
I've made up my mind
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
Righteousness found only in your face
You see my heart you extend your grace
Eyes open falling in love again
You say I'm yours
It was always you
It was always you
You found me
It was always you
It was always you
You found me
I've made up my mind
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
I've made up my mind
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
I've made up mind
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
You call me your own
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
You call me your own
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
I've made up my mind
I'm never going back
I'm never going back
I'm singing out your lovely name
I'm giving you everything
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
I'm singing out your lovely name
I'm giving you everything
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
There's nothing that I have need of
'Cause there's nothing you haven't done
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
There's nothing that I have need of
'Cause there's nothing you haven't done
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
I'm singing out your lovely name
I'm giving you everything
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
I'm singing out your lovely name
I'm giving you everything
You make soul alive
You put your love inside
There's nothing that I have need of
'Cause there's nothing you haven't done
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
There's nothing that I have need of
'Cause there's nothing you haven't done
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
We're singing out your lovely name
I'm giving you everything
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
I'm singing out your lovely name
I'm giving you everything
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
There's nothing that I have need of
'Cause there's nothing you haven't done
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside
There's nothing that I have need of
'Cause there's nothing you haven't done
You make my soul alive
You put your love inside

Never Going Back (ft. Brock Human)
Meaning & Inspiration
Will Reagan's "Never Going Back," featuring Brock Human, released on August 31, 2015, is a powerful anthem of transformative faith, moving far beyond a simple song into a declaration of radical commitment. The lyrical narrative centers on a profound encounter with a divine, faithful presence that rescues the singer from a state of spiritual orphanhood and alienation. This "faithful one" is depicted as a patient father figure, extending unwavering love and acceptance, a theme deeply rooted in scriptural promises of God's steadfastness. The repeated assertion, "I never am alone, you found me," echoes the profound comfort and security found in God's presence, recalling verses like Psalm 139:7-10 which question where one can flee from God's spirit. This realization is the catalyst for the song's central declaration: "I've made up my mind, I'm never going back." This is not a casual decision but a firm resolve born from experiencing God's righteousness and grace, which is sought "only in your face." The lyrics "You see my heart, you extend your grace" speak to God's perfect knowledge of us and His unmerited favor, as highlighted in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The act of "falling in love again" signifies a renewed and deepened relationship with God, a spiritual awakening that solidifies the commitment to move forward. The recurring phrase, "It was always you, you found me," underscores the divine initiative in salvation, suggesting that even before we sought Him, God was orchestrating a path to us, aligning with biblical truths found in Jeremiah 29:11 where God declares His plans for prosperity and hope. The song's climax is a jubilant outpouring of praise and complete surrender. The lines "I'm singing out your lovely name, I'm giving you everything" are a testament to a heart overflowing with gratitude and devotion. This self-offering is made possible by the life-giving power of God, who "makes my soul alive" and "puts your love inside." This internal transformation eradicates any sense of need or deficiency, as the singer proclaims, "There's nothing that I have need of, 'cause there's nothing you haven't done." This speaks to the completeness found in Christ, referencing passages like Ephesians 1:3 which states believers have been blessed with every spiritual blessing. The repeated affirmations throughout the latter half of the song emphasize the enduring nature of this newfound life and relationship, reinforcing the unshakeable conviction that the past, with its potential for wandering and despair, is definitively behind them. "Never Going Back" is therefore a robust expression of redemption and the unwavering joy that comes from being found, loved, and eternally secured in God's grace.
