Casting Crowns' song 'One Awkward Moment' encourages believers to step out in faith and share God's love with someone who is hurting, even if it feels uncomfortable. The lyrics tell the story of a young woman who has felt abandoned and alone, desperate for hope but hesitant to ask for help. The song challenges listeners to use their own past hurts and scars as a bridge to connect with others, reminding them that a single awkward moment of reaching out could be the moment someone encounters the gospel and finds new life. It emphasizes that God can use our imperfections to open others' eyes to His truth.

She's a castaway
Stranded on the island of her yesterdays
Freedom was her ocean, but she got swept away
Little princess dreaming got lost somewhere in the waves
Left behind
She's been going at this all alone since she was nine
But God loves you, He's got a plan for you, she's heard all the lines
But when she opens up her heart nobody's got the time
Could this be the day that you come to the rescue?
She's desperate for the light but she's never gonna ask you
One word, one hand
Tell me is that too high a price
One awkward moment
Could be the one that saves a life
Your hurt, your scars
God will use to open up her eyes
One awkward moment
You'll see the gospel come alive
Come alive
Who are you to say
You've got shipwrecks of your own
You're too young in your faith
She's a smart one, she will see right through your masquerade
You're scared that what you don't know might push her away
But don't cave to the weight of the fear that you're feeling
'Cause she's standing right here and you're here for a reason
One word, one hand
Tell me is that too high a price
One awkward moment
Could be the one that saves a life
Your hurt, your scars
God will use to open up her eyes
One awkward moment
You'll see the gospel come alive
Come alive
You've walked in her shoes
You've heard the lies, you know the pain
But He's still the truth, He's still the life, He's still the way
One word, one hand
Tell me is that too high a price
One awkward moment
Could be the one that saves a life
Your hurt, your scars
God will use to open up her eyes
One awkward moment
You'll see the gospel come alive
You've walked in her shoes
You've heard the lies, you know the pain
Come alive
But He's still the truth, He's still the life, He's still the way
Come alive
You've walked in her shoes
You've heard the lies, you know the pain
Come alive
But He's still the truth, He's still the life, He's still the way
Could this be the day that you come to the rescue?
