It's Like Me

Kutless confesses a very specific and recurring failure — conversations that mention God without ever actually sharing him, chances noticed only after they've already passed. "So many times that I just never saw the chance," they admit, refusing to dress the pattern up as anything but a habit.

The second verse raises the stakes: a phone call bringing news that someone has died, just after a moment when faith actually was shared and "another soul was won." Kutless lets the contrast do the convicting — one missed chance beside one chance taken, and the difference between them measured in eternity, not awkwardness avoided.

Paul instructs Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2 to "be instant in season, out of season," ready regardless of convenience, and Proverbs 11:30 calls the one who wins souls wise. Kutless's repeated confession — "it's like me to never see... when perfect opportunities come my way" — isn't self-pity; it's the honest starting point for actually changing the pattern.
