Goin' Through the Motions

I like this song by Matthew West. I consider it in a different manner than perhaps the reason it was written. Christ is my reason for living and I know I couldn't survive without Him. But I tend to be very unobservant and am not sensitive to the needs around me, nor the beauty and blessings that come from the Lord. I pray to become more aware of what the Lord sends into my path and not just "go through the motions" of daily life.


This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
