Musings at Altitude

When I got out of bed and turned on the radio, I heard the song The Motions by Matthew West.

Every line hits me hard.

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.”

I can’t remember how many times I’ve sat down wondering whether or not I should have said something, or whether or not I should have given something, or whether or not I should have stepped in and actually done something rather than just watch.

We all know that when we get to that point, the answer is almost always “yes”.

I am guilty of just 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 ok is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of life.

I’m still listening…stuck on “cause just ok is not enough”.

James 2:17 says, “faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

The song ends with “I don’t want to go through the motions.”

I don’t either.
