Purpose
Why this song exists.
Yours Again exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into surrender. A warmer mid-EP moment that speaks of returning to God, not as an abstract idea but as a personal act of worship and belonging.
The song does not try to explain every part of the EP at once. It holds one worship task with care, giving the listener language that can be sung honestly in a service, during prayer, or in the quiet of ordinary life.
Meaning
What the song carries.

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold return, devotion and renewed belonging, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.
