Sounds- The Motions

On the way to Tae Kwon Do, I heard a song that is very close to my heart: The Motions by Matthew West. The lyrics have stuck a thorn in my heart. God has used this song in my life to realize that I really have to surrender and serve him. I have to abandon it all. Serve, sing and be salt like no one is watching. This song was so beautiful to my ears. I play it quite often and it never seems to get old. My ears welcome it anytime.
Here are the lyrics...

This might hurt

It's not safe

But I know I've got another change

I don't care if I break

At least I'll be feeling something

It's just ok

It's 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 like asking

What if I had given everything?

Instead of going through the motions

Take me all the way

I don't wanna go

Through the motions

I think I'm finally feeling something real



I can't continue to go through the motions... I have to live, love and be a light with a sincere heart and break out of the mold of life.
