Kutless's song "This Time" addresses someone who has turned away from God, urging them not to walk away from their faith. The lyrics express surprise and sorrow at seeing a believer abandon what they knew was right, but the bridge offers hope by quoting Scripture about sin's consequences and God's gift of eternal life through Christ, as well as overcoming evil with good. The song is a gentle but firm call to repentance and perseverance, reminding listeners that despite failure, God's grace is available and they should not give up.

I see you standing there
I see a tear in your eye
Why'd you turn away
Why'd you run
Run till this point of breaking
No walking away
No walking away
You were the one that I looked to
I never thought I'd see you run
I never thought I'd see you turn your back on all you
knew what right
You turned your back on God
No walking away
No walking away
No walking away yeah
No walking away
[speaking in bridge] For the wages of sin is
But the gift of God is eternal life
In Christ Jesus our Lord
Do not be overcome by evil
But overcome evil with good
No walking away
