  • Saw him live love Matthew west

  • Love it

  • He sang live at an area around me a couple years ago and i got to meet him.. he is the sweetest person ever.

  • I can sing this because my friend has this c.d.and we listen to it all the time.

  • So anyway. From a standpoint of not being Christian whatsoever (not going to church, not reading the bible, etc), this is still a song that should relate to life in general. Assuming you look at it from the standpoint of "he's not just singing this song about God" (which he might be, I just heard this song randomly on the radio and looked it up). Call me a sinner and that I'm going straight to hell if you'd like, but it's still an awesome song ;D

  • @CLessDLR who are we to say your going to hell or to call u a sinner. Ima sinner and i hope to make it to heaven. But we are the ones who decide whether we goto hell or heaven. The way we live our life determines where we end up. If u live life good and just be a good person im sure ul make it to heaven. Im not tellin u to believe in god or sayin ur bad for not. That choice is yours to make, we have said all we can God is right in front of u here and if u dnt want to try its ur choice

  • @number3nvrforget You've definately got one thing right! We are not the ones to say if someone goes to heaven or hell. God is. But He has provided a way for us to really KNOW if we're going to heaven. And He tells us how. He says that "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved!" No matter what you've done. Just accept His love! He died to save you, He loves you, but you've gotta say "I do."

  • @ChelseBrun yeah your right. Jesus said love god with all you are and love one another as he loves us. Everything is in that all the commandments fall in line with those two things

  • this might, its not safe, but i kno that i gotta make a change

  • @chelsebrun thanks, I appreciate it!

  • no offense but in the beginning you spelled feeling wrong.you put felling.

  • I love the Lord!!! If you don't know Him just admit, believe and confess.

  • Can someone tell me what does Matthew West mean by "the motions"? Please and thank you! ;-3

  • @Straw1berry3 : He's talking about "the motions" of doing all the "religious" stuff, even going to church, saying you're a "christian," whatever, but never really having a real relationship with God. Never really doing what matters most - accepting Jesus as your Lord, and, with His help, turning from your old ways and really "walking the walk" instead of just "talking the talk," (or, "going through the motions!") As my dad always said, "it's not a religion, it's a relationship!"

  • 'Help me fight through the nothingness of life...'

  • Can you please pray that I can reach my full potential when I'm home. I really am not trying as hard as I want. I feel like I'm suppressing the spirit and it feels awful. I'm sorry Lord. Forgive me for what I've done.

  • @scottwolfe92 praying for you, bud

  • @jakethesnake6591 thank you I appreciate it.God Bless you.

  • I love this song

  • wwe are not christians we are disciples of christ that way we can not be defined by a "type" of religion so follow christ he is the motions and everything

  • My life......

  • @Skilletmysoul Give your life to Jesus, he loves you. He does`nt want you to go through them, live souled out for him.

    God bless you.

  • Knowledge is a powerful thing and it is how we use this power of knowledge that defines us. And with the knowledge of how this song has changed my life i want to be defined as a messenger of gods good will to all men

  • i love this song it is my favorite song god bless you all

  • Every day I think wow he had to do all that and still sings... Matthew West had VCC Vocal Cord Cancer and wasn't soppost to sing for a while but right after he went to his concert and preformed this song that is just dedacation.. If you want to help on the 7th17th27th of every month were a rebbion that say VCC Vocal Cord Cance.. where it on the 7th monthJuly all of that month.Also all the month of April the month he had the surgey to suport VCC and Matthew West.Lets get this to the top comments

  • @TiggerTannerox

    It's seams like you know there's a person up there looking down at you but your not sure what to do but to run away and find something to make you think that he's not there. But it's OK he can help you. Just think of him as an invisible friend. Pray to him once but act like your just talking to a friend if it's your first time. Then you need to ask him if he can help you find some good friends that you can hang out with that don't cut. You just need something to clear your mind

  • This song was my childhood. I grew up hearing this song, every week ... I was never able to understand it, but I just heard it today again, and it just speaks so much to me, that now I can understand what it means ...

  • Pray for the people who dislike this video

  • @TiggerTannerox

    God loves you so much! All you have to do is let Him in! I have been through so much, and just today my mom was in a car accident, but God protected her! I don't know what I would do with out Him! He is so amazing! No matter how far down you feel you've fallen God can pull you out! God wants you to be His to love! He will accept you!

    <3 God loves you and I do too! <3

  • I love this song! I remember reading about it when i was little. It has something to do with cancer he had, and he was tired of it.

  • @TiggerTannerox

    I know what it's like to be the outcast. But god came to me, and he really can do amazing things in your life without you even realizing it at first. Remember, he has a plan for you, he loves you. Please don't hurt yourself anymore!!

    I love you and so does he. We are all a family and we are her for you.

    -3

  • Amazing!! People who dont have him NEED him!! There are soo many people in my school who need Christ!! He is amazing and he will do amazing things!!

  • I love this song :) it's great! Just an fyi though, 23 seconds into video theres spelling error "felling" instead of feeling... Great video anyways though :)

  • You go Matthew West love ya!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  • we go through things early so later on we can be that light to others that need it cause we have been through it and they need someone that understands there situation

  • @unkn0wng4mer nah its just being there that helps others cause you can can never go through what others are going through, you can get pretty close but never the same.

  • @mnky3541 even if they are a little bit different god gives us oppertunities to give adive or help and actually god gives people understanding and wisdom and also speaks through people

  • For sure...

  • I feel alone even though im Christian :( Ik gods with me but parents are just....making me feel unloved alone sadness and pain ... Can someone pray ?

  • MY DAD IS A PREECHER ND HE LOVES THIS SONG BUT I DONT FEEL CHRISTIAN CUZ I HEAR THOSE RAP SONGS AND STUFF BUT PRAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY THANK YOU

  • @alicelovesu2511 i could help...you dont have to listen to rap... wat do you mean

  • @alicelovesu2511 If you want a good christian rapper, listen to Lecrae. He has really good messages. Listen to his songs.

  • This describes how I felt years ago right before I rededicated my life to Christ.

  • 12 people are still going through the motions

  • this almost sounds like a prayer

  • why does the beat sound like something Nick Lachey sang...hmmm

  • just saw him at national fine arts!!!! amazing!!

  • This is awesome........I love it......

  • Its sad because some people go through the motions of being saved, just to please their parents or friends. Also, when the person is saved, they get used to a routine and leave God out. When in reality, God should be the utmost first. And we should give everything to God, and we just have to give our all for Christ. :)

  • We should take risks. So that we will know what the outcome might be. Remember we do not like regrets.

  • this really makes me thing how much god has done for us such a stunning song

  • Just was at a mission trip and we sang this song every night ....i love it

  • POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song reminds me of my ex, that I still love. I still wonder "what if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions?" I wonder where I'd be today, if I had.

  • thumbs up if ur christain!!

  • @TheMichelle1645 i voted thumbs up but actually im an apostolic Pentecostal

  • @TheMichelle1645* Christian...YES:) :) :) :)

  • @TheMichelle1645 im not a christian....not yet. i go to church, but im not a christian yet.

  • @cheesecakelover110 Hey, if you have any questions I can help you (or ask someone else if I don't know the answer, lol) Make sure you get information from a pastor or someone you trust. I'm praying for you!

  • I was just at freedom fest on saturday and he was there giving a concert and he sang this song.. I had soo much fun... I love this song!:)

  • I love this song

  • What are the motions.as much as i listen to thos dong i dont get what they are! I need help

  • @leann989 It means simply, "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." A popular verse in the New Testament Bible. James 1: 22

  • Comment removed

  • @leann989 It simply means "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." A popular scripture from the New Testament Bible. I would be happy to share more of such wonderful gospel with you if you have more questions.

  • @leann989 - I think by the motions, he just means regular days without God. Sinning, and doing nothing good that glorifies him. Get it?

  • @Scarnose21 And not just with God...with anything that has meaning in a person's life, for it is all in the presence of God

  • i love this song because it shows that god loves us so much god blesses all of you

  • This is my all time favorite song!!!!!!!

  • i love this song it has so much meaning

  • i love this song !

  • Those 12 people who disliked this video shame on you

  • @TheNighthawk2710 No, do not shame them. They made it as far as listening to this song. They need prayer to get them the rest of the way.

  • This music does not honor my Lord, Jesus Christ - It offends Him!

  • @30Jontheweb WHAT DO U MEAN

  • @30Jontheweb How?

  • 11 people hit the wrong button

  • 11 people dont have God in their lives

  • @thedarksaviour24 No, that's 11 people that we need to pray for. Because they got this far. They're looking for him inadvertently. Something inside them wants God. And they made it this far.

  • @mag147 your absolutly right

  • My church sings this song at church and i absolutely can't get enough of it! Love this song!!!

  • This song is so beautiful.

  • Does anybody know what key on the piano you would play this in ?

  • @bonnet101 no... its the best song in the universe

  • This is absolutely true you can't go through the motions and be the person God has called you to be. You have to give Him your all.

  • This song is so touching.

    Everytime I sing it I almost start balling!

    I love it so much!

    It's so inspirational and deep, it just touches the very last cell in your body when you listen to it<3

  • The 11 people who dislike this song are going through the motions. =D

  • I just gotta say...

    "I don't wanna spend my whole life asking, 'What if I had given everything instead of going through the motions?'"

    Love this song. Love the meaning.

  • I love this song. I can hear it all day ! god bless you all ! This is definitely one of the best songs i've ever heard.

  • @supercute2468 Thats grate

  • Looking back on how you use to go through the motions when you finally come to understanding of whats going on in an eternal perspective is a very very moving experiance and a life changing thing. Humble yourself, listen and obey and you will experiance Gods will in your life and shine baby! Take me all the way !

  • This is a really good song, but I like You are everything better

  • I feel like I am this song. I need god with me but I can't feel him at all! I can't feel anything. I think I would feel something if I cut myself or even stabbed myself. I am 14 and already have considered both multiple times. I kno this isn't god's plan 4 my life, but I am desperate for a feeling. I need help

  • Great Song.<3

    I love it.<3

  • I love this song its awesome.

  • insted of going through the motions i luv this song and how would u know thats y

  • i luv dis song it has a great message

  • "I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind." I love that part, and this song as a whole. :)

  • I love this song it describes me so much & everybody sins but i regret this sin that i did but i love JESUS CHRIST soooo much & if the whole world turns against me i know that he will ALWAYS be there 4 meh!=)

  • loving this song, my favorite =-)

  • this is an awesome song

  • hold up DCoffeeCrispR, now, if you want to make disciples of all nations, you gotta be sensitive to what other people worship. i'm definitely am a christian, but saying they are big idiots gives them bad perspective of us and they think, "hey, i don't want to be mean and rude like them christians, i'd do better without. they serve a God that never sinned and was never rude, yet they do this." that's what they think. i'm just trying to help because that is what my dad says is to not be rude.

  • I'm sad to say this but "E speaks da truth" I, as a newborn newborn newborn christian (I was one than i lost my way and so on) figured that out two maybe three weeks ago. we need to be gentler. I just got out of this fight with an Athiest trying to convince her god was real. I did it gently (even though i was going to explode if she wouldn't change) and she was at least willing to listen. BTW I failed but i encourage others to try.

  • @crimsonred11 Honestly, sometimes it works. I'm a perfect example. I thought that because of my sexuality I would be damned to Hell so I was atheist. Well, this one boy and I got into an extreme argument about it and he admitted that he was bi. I decided, well, Hell. I was going to believe in God, because whether I was going to Hell or not didn't matter. It still upsets me that I can't change, but just believing has made everything so much better.

  • @DementedDogg99

    Just because you aren't straight does NOT mean you are going to hell, if you are saved.

    It IS a sin though. I'll explain it if you like. Don't know if you know that NOW or not so, yah.

  • @DementedDogg99 I'm going to say something my Youth Pastor said to me that I never knew after being a Christian for 2 years: No matter what you do, God will ALWAYS love you. But it can change how pleased with you God can be. He compares it to like your father (which God is), you want nothing than to make him proud. And when you let him down and you know it, you feel bad. But no matter how disappointed, God will still ALWAYS love you. If you want I can ask what the scripture is that backs this.

  • I relly dont know why most of you are being so mean. This song is great. And Christianity isnt blind faith, its trust in things that are visble all around you. I mean, how can you explain the world, the people that miracoulously get better after they've been prayed over be a Christian. God does so many great things all the time, we arent the ones that are blind, you non-christians are. Bling idiots is what you are.

  • he got this disease and he could speak sing nothiin 4 7months then they did this surgery on his vocal chords and he got his voice back so he wrote a song talking about how he didnt wanna do that again

  • the song is so good that I dont how he made up the song

  • i LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • going through the motions is having feelings about believing in god but ur not sure of ow to be a TRUE christian and basically at my church if ur saved jesus is in ur life so he helps u to NOT go through the motions so thts what this song is about

  • u are both wrong. it was made cause he was going in to throat surgery and was quite afraid so he made this song while he was GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS

  • @12ase26 To me, I think its more of finding true faith, and following with all your heart instead of just going through the motions of religion. I take it as finding his true to love inside of you, and giving your whole life to God, instead of just being one of those "once a week Christians"
