The Motions

Today on my way home from work I was listening to K-Love (which I have a love hate relationship with). Usually I am not interested in a lot of the songs they play. I am not a big pop music fan in general, and when I hear Christian pop music, I want to tear my hair out. Anyway, I heard a new song by Matt Redman called "The Motions" and WOW! This song explains how I want to live my life in about three minutes. I never want to get caught up in motioning through my life, particularly my relationship with God. I want to always have a consuming desire for Christ and never forget how desperately I need him. I wrote the lyrics down below. Read them, listen to the song, and pick out what you need.



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 ok
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

Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
