He acknowledges the hidden battles many face—addiction, anxiety, depression, broken relationships, and the shame of repeated failures. The song offers a powerful reminder from Romans 8 that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, emphasizing that God's grace is sufficient for every mistake. It's an encouraging message of hope and freedom, pointing listeners back to the truth of the gospel and the unconditional love of God.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
This is for those of you who feel like a house divided
For those who, like me, can be so double-minded
For the defeated and the doubters
For the losers and left-outers
For the alcoholics and the secret keepers
For the anxious, depressed, and barely still believers
For the pastor with a hidden sin
The parents with the wayward kids
The ones with broken marriages
Who wonder, is this all there is?
For those of us who run the race
But we wonder if God's grace
Is big enough for my mistakes
This is for the legalistic upright, who actually think you're alright
For the regretters of what you did last night
After you swore you'd stop visiting that website
You see, the promises we make become the promises we break
But wait
But wait
But wait
Romans 8
There is no condemnation
There is no condemnation
There is no condemnation
For those who are in Christ Jesus
