Going through the motions (Matthew West)

This might hurt, it’s not safe

But I know that I’ve got to 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 want to go through the motions

I don’t want to go one more day

Without Your all-consuming passion inside of me

I don’t want to spend my whole life asking

What if I had given everything

Instead of going through the motions?

No regrets, not this time

I’m going to 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

Refrain

Take me all the way (take me all the way)

Take me all the way (‘cause I don’t want to go through the motions)

Take me all the way (I know I’m finally feeling something real)

Take me all the way

           

Refrain
