The Motions


by Matthew West

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?"

This songs speaks of the driving force behind our actions in life. The all-consuming passion of Christ within a believer should compel you to live your life in total surrender to your Savior. At the end of life, you don't want to look back and say, "I wish I had done more, or, if only I had given everything to God instead of pretending, or giving a half-hearted effort."

  • I don't want to go one more day caught in a quagmire of mediocrity. 
  • I'll stop going through the motions of a complacent Christian life and I will give everything.
