Tasha Cobbs' song is a heartfelt confession of repeated failure and the struggle between following God's will and giving in to temptation. The lyrics describe being at the altar again with the same tears, fear, and shame, acknowledging that the singer should have walked away but chose to stay. Yet there is a recognition of God's persistent grace and mercy, as He is called the God of another chance. The song ends with a resolve to turn away next time and walk with God instead of being carried out. It speaks to the human experience of weakness and the hope found in God's forgiveness and strength.

Oh, no! I know I did it again
Tried to walk away, but my hands were tied
Another bad decision
But if I'm honest, it was all a lie
Like I been fighting this for all my life
How could this be wrong, when it feels so right?
Right thing, wrong time
Your will or mine
My flesh won this time
And the whole time
I shoulda walked away
But no. I chose to stay
And the whole time
You tried to carry me out
I shoulda walked away
I'm at the altar again
Same tears, same fear, same shame and sin
I shoulda been stronger than this
If only I had trusted You to be my strength
Like I been fighting this all my life
How could this be wrong, when it feels so right?
Right thing, wrong time
Your will or mine
Guess I was outta line
And the whole time
I shoulda walked away
But no. I chose to stay
And the whole time
You tried to carry me out
I shoulda walked away
You're the god of another chance
So, the next time, I'm gonna turn away
I won't choose to stay
The next time, no need to carry me out
We'll just walk away
