10. “Coming Back to Truth”
Description
“Coming Back to Truth” is the culminating call of the Fearfully and Wonderfully Made album, inspired by Jesus’ prayer in John 17:17: “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” In a time where information can be manipulated and personal “truths” are championed, this song invites listeners to rediscover God’s unchanging Word as the only reliable compass.
The opening verse paints the picture of someone who has drifted, possibly lured away by modern ideologies or personal doubts. Rather than dwelling on guilt, however, the focus shifts to God’s unwavering grace—His willingness to welcome us back with open arms the moment we turn around (Luke 15:20). This ties into the theme of repentance, which is less about condemnation and more about realignment with God’s heart.
Musically, “Coming Back to Truth” carries a sense of homecoming, blending contemplative verses with a gradually building chorus that overflows with hope. The second verse clarifies how cultural viewpoints, though sometimes appealing, cannot substitute the eternal wisdom found in Scripture. It’s a loving but firm reminder that no matter how advanced society becomes, the Word of God remains relevant and transformative.
One of the song’s highlights is the bridge, where intercession takes center stage. Here, we pray for those who are still caught in the whirlwind of confusion, asking the Holy Spirit to draw them into God’s perfect truth. The final chorus becomes a collective decision—to lay down pride, fear, and false security in favor of God’s unwavering guidance.
“Coming Back to Truth” stands as a final invitation to the listener: no matter how far you’ve traveled away from God, it’s never too late to come home. With a heartfelt outro that speaks of blessing, the track finishes on a note of renewed purpose and clarity, ensuring we leave this album with our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus, the anchor of all truth.

Key Scripture:
“…Your word is truth.” (John 17:17)
Devotion
Life sometimes pulls us away from God’s truth, especially when we’re bombarded with influencers, media messages, and cultural trends. It’s easy to drift without even realizing it, until one day you wake up feeling distant from God and from who you really are.
“Coming back to truth” means rediscovering God’s Word as your compass. In John 17:17, Jesus prays for His followers, saying, “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” God’s Word isn’t just an opinion or outdated text—it’s alive (Hebrews 4:12) and has the power to realign your heart and mind with His will.
Repentance is key here. When you recognize you’ve been drifting, simply turn around. God is never angry when we come back; He’s actually waiting with open arms (Luke 15:20). Laying down pride and saying, “God, I need You to reset my thoughts and my life,” is where genuine freedom begins.
Returning to truth also involves building habits that keep you anchored. That could mean reading a few verses each day, plugging into a Bible-based youth group, or finding a mentor who encourages your walk with God. These are practical steps that help you stay connected to the source of truth, Jesus.
Reflection:
- In what areas have you drifted away from God’s Word?
- What one step can you take this week to reconnect with biblical truth?
Action Point:
Commit to reading at least one chapter of the Bible daily. Start with the Gospel of John, or a book that speaks directly to your current struggles (like Psalms if you feel anxious). Journaling your thoughts or questions afterward can help you remember what God shows you. Over time, you’ll see how God’s truth shapes your worldview and draws you closer to Him.
Lyrics
Coming Back to Truth
Theme: A final call to return to God’s Word as the ultimate authority, a homecoming for hearts led astray.
Intro
We’ve wandered far, chasing shadows in disguise
But the truth’s been calling, shining through the lies
Verse 1
Hearts grown weary, lost in fleeting trends
But Your love’s unchanging, constant to the end
No more hiding, no more fading light
We’re stepping out, into the truth, into the fight

Verse 2
We believed the noise, forgot the sacred sound
But Your Word’s a melody that’s turning hearts around
Ruach HaKodesh (Hebrew: רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ), breathe in us anew
We’re done with empty echoes—we’re holding on to You
