To You

(album: Maverick City, Vol. 3 Part 2 - 2020)

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 beckon me, 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

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

What's every other option, yeah
When I've know the sweeter 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 seen in full (Yes, I do, Lord)
What I've only known in measures

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

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

I hear the song Your singing
Crying out, "Run, child, run"
Father, I am returning
I'll stay where I belong
I hear the song Your singing
Crying out, "Run, child, run"
Father, I am returning
I'll stay where I belong
I hear the song Your singing
Crying out, "Run, child, run"
Father, I am returning
I'll stay where I belong (And I'll stay where I belong)
I hear the song Your singing (Yeah, yeah)
Crying out, "Run, child, run"
Father, I am returning
I'll stay where I belong (I'll stay where I belong)

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

I'm not just coming, but I'm running
And I don't have to run the whole way
'Cause You'll meet me half way
I'm not just coming, but I'm running
You don't make me come the whole way alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
And I won't look back
No, I won't look back
Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
And I won't look back
No, I won't look back
Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
And I won't look back
No, I won't look back
Here I come running, running (Here I come)
Here I come running, running (Here I come)
Here I come running, running (Here I come)
And I won't look back
No, I won't look back
Here I come running, running (Here I come)
Here I come running, running (Here I come)
Here I come running, running (Yes, I am)
And I won't look back
No, I won't look back
Here I come running, running (Here I come)
Here I come running, running
Here I come running, running
And I won't look back
No, I won't look back

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
I'm not just coming, but I'm running

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...

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
