Anthony Evans' song "No Condemnation" uses the metaphor of addiction and recovery to illustrate the struggle with sin and the liberating truth of God's grace. The lyrics describe being pulled under by destructive desires, losing one's way, and the emptiness that follows. Yet the song turns toward hope, declaring a decision to starve that hunger and embrace sobriety, symbolizing repentance and new life. It echoes the biblical promise that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, offering assurance that change is possible through faith.

I couldn't see the hurt couldn't the need
Only saw the way you were lookin' at me
Couldn't see the fire that was smoldering
To be your desire was intoxicating
So I... took a sip, took a sip
From your lips, from your lips
And I lost my way, I lost my mind
I settled for less and I sacrificed
A thousand drinks still weren't enough
To satisfy my thirst for love
You pulled me under
Till I got over
I'll starve that hunger
Now I'm sober
At the bottom of the bottle it was all a mess
You filled me up with such emptiness
Jumped in to save ya, saw you strugglin'
Now your head's above water and I'm drownin'
So I... took a sip, took a sip
Should I die so you can live?
And I lost my way, I lost my mind
I settled for less and I sacrificed
A thousand drinks still weren't enough
To satisfy my thirst for love
You pulled me under
Till I got over
I'll starve that hunger
Now I'm sober
And it's hard to escape the need to numb the pain
This is the choice I make, I'm ready for change
Don't drink the poison, drink it down
It's not worth it, pour it out
Don't drink the poison, drink it down
It's not worth it, pour it out
And I lost my way, I lost my mind
I settled for less and I sacrificed
A thousand drinks still weren't enough
To satisfy my thirst for love
I lost my way, I lost my mind
I settled for less and I sacrificed
A thousand drinks still weren't enough
To satisfy my thirst for love
You pulled me under
Till I got over
I'll starve that hunger
Now I'm sober
