Matthew West :: "The Motions"

[177jesusfreak]

this song has moved so many people. i know a lot of people that say they go to church but act the exact opposite of a christian; its sad how these people just go through the motions. pray for people like this.

[12elshaddai]

This song is Absolutely Awesome!!!!!

[AWonderfulWorldFound]

I'm sorry for those who don't appreciate this song.

Gives me (good) chills.

[wemadeyouproductions]

my bff loves this  song

[1Gigastar]

so true. i went to a church and i was like," no not sunday. that means church." now that i have moved to a different church i say," YES SUNDAY! That means church!" if you dont feel the spirit of god, dont go through the motions and fid somewhere you do. i love you God.

[sxfeet]

i feel this way all the time. i wish i had the strength to give it all

[kyle6399]

oh god im so lost and confused without you ,this world has nothing for me, just tired of going through the motions, i need you so much god.

[ThePalaminogirl]

[Abigailbazan]

i luv this song!!



[ReiketsuIttou]

i'm having faith and general life problems, I dont know what to do (please message me)

[skatefan25]

@ReiketsuIttou run, don't walk, to the nearest church. You do not need to be a member to take advantage of the opprotunity to speak to a priest or pastor. They are there to help the community as a whole, and they will not expect anything from you. You will feel much better afterwards. God Bless

[kairosherb]

@ReiketsuIttou Good advice skate.

Reiketsulttou, I want you to know you r not alone. I just said a prayer 4 you. We all struggle at times. The bible is full of people struggling, who cry out 2 God and receive Hope, Joy, and Peace. Pray 2 God and tell Him exactly how you feel. Be real with God and He'll be real w' you. Ask God 2 HELP you TRUST Him as He answers your prayers and helps you w' ALL your problems. He loves you and He hears your prayers.

[kairosherb]

@ReiketsuIttou In Jeremiah 29:11 God said "For I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

[HKing2478]

23 people were going through the motions...

[flaregun88]

I think this song is about suicide. Don't do it Matthew!

[mspunky]

Oh Matthew I am so proud of you. Your music so moves me unlike others. I can really feel your emotions I really can. I wish you were my son Matthew I would be so proud of you...I never had a son...my baby boy died before coming into this world....Please Matthew pray for me and my Non Profit Foundation Buried with Dignity ....thank you so much GOD BLESS YOU!!

[cray7z7ppl]

this song broke me to tears when i was at a point in my life where i found myself pretending that i was ok, praising God but not with all that i am. I never want to go through the motions again!

[conversegirl131]

me and my friend totally love this song! he always singing down the hallway :) he's so stupid. one time, our english was playing music while we were working, and she was playing this song, and he just bursts out "the motions!" when we were all quiet. lol! luv ya giovanni :D

[ArwinZ86]

[sabrinaoutabia2]

okayy,,

so usually i just listen to the beatles.

but this song is absolutely amazing, because i DONT just want to go through the motions. our pastor talked about this a couple of weeks ago. and i think it was for a reason. (: well just want to let you all know i'm trying real hard. i love this song!! so i hope you guys didn't mind me saying my life story here. lol x]

[bettyspaghetti422]

@sabrinaoutabia2 lol that's sweet

[narutofan982]

GOD BLESS U ALL

[Cbluesrocker]

This is so true. There are so many people (including myself) who use to or now as we speak just go through the motions to look good and christian in front of everybody else. The Bible says to do your good deeds in private, but still be a light in the dark world we live in. When he says be a light he doesn't mean to gloat and do good deeds for the aproval of men. Do it for God's approval. Ultimately God's approval is the most important when judgement day comes.

[literalnoise]

@luvalwaysfree A megaphone :)

[perfectoneness]

@luvalwaysfree its a sort of projector for a voice. These are used when you want to talk to a large crowd of people so your voice can be heard a little easier.

i wish there was cancer never exsited!!!! i want my grandpa back!!!!

[7thNCtrooper2]

@ilovejesus840 First, I am sorry to hear about your grandpa. Second, I don't mean to be nosey, but he is in Heaven right? You are are saved right? If the answer is yes, then you have eternity to look forward to, and thinking about that helped me get past the deaths in my family. I am wishing you the best, and praying that a blessing will be coming your way soon.

[LyrGil]

Jesus, You went all the way to the cross for me. Take ME all the way for YOU!

[JCxJENstyleZ]

@LyrGil AMEN!!!

[dancingdeckles]

this song is so true. i find myself going through the motions also but this song helps me let God move me :]

[mcfreak016]

I'm tired of seeing the add to save FUSE every time i want to listen to a song. Why not try to save something that actually matters, like the animals dieing from the BPoil spill, or all the people who are lost in the daily shuffle of life!!! We can live without FUSE, but there are some things we really need that no one is fighting to save...

[123JERE456]

cool song I truly like it

[moitionproductions12]

WORDS CAN NOT DESCIBLE HOW I FEEL WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU.

[Re7esifaith]

SONG FITS ME TODAY!!!!!!!!

[Pianosoulja]

song sucks

[wTwEntertainment]

Chaos does Not Approach Us. We will Live Free In Heaven. We will and Always Stand in Victory. Don't Believe Satan's Lies. Satan's Darkness Does Not Affect Us. Evil Rituals Do Not Work On Us. Even Though were Surrounded by Darkness. We will Not Fear Darkness. For I am His and He is Mine. I am Forgiven. I am Fearless. I Might Fall Sometimes. But I will Always get Back Up. Here In the Love for Christ. I Stand.

[anuradha40]

This song testfies to the One Creator. Love it! Helped me through a tough time a couple of years ago. No matter what, we keep on with that relationship with God.

[livingrace0113]

This song is so strong. I don't have to cry, tears just come . This song describes my life right know, I'm going trough the motions and i need faith and strength . best song ever:)

[kpzart]

I LOVE this song a great song to show how you have to depend on God all the time!

[paigekaylamaddie]

i LOVE this song! it's one of my favorite christian songs.

[bowiehs]

I don`t want to go through the motions, I want to live holy everyday. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways!

[IrishRascal1]

This song is SOOOOOO good

[IrishRascal1]

I LOVE MATTHEW WEST!! He went through a lot of pain yet still is one of the best singers around. 'Til he comes!

[tarooch74]

The message is good for everyone, every religion. For strength ....

[signsofaprincess]

i love this song. but may i just ask: what the heck is in his hand?

[russellkat2007]

@signsofaprincess an old cheerleader style megaphone.

[lightsalt01]

Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, FOR ONLY U GOD CAN DO THIS

[wTwEntertainment]

This song is so amazing! Never give in to the devil, Your life is a gift from god. I have felt the same way you have, where you just wanna stop what your doing and burst out crying. Ive lost my grandma last June, She was the one that I looked up too. I'm 14 years old and for a 14 year old, it's hard to get over it. but I know she is in a way better place. God is Trustworthy. I rely on god because he has a promise, A promise of a lifetime.

[jezusfreek1]

@wTwEntertainment the loss of a loved one is the hardest thing to get over. when i was younger, i was being abused, and my dad later was givn the choise to gv up all rite or go to jail he chose to give me up. and after that, my grandma died which was his gma, and nobody told me for 5 years. so i didnt even get to say goodbye or go to her funeral. but now i no shes in heaven and i will see her again one day and will nevr hv to say goodbye. im praying for u and ur famly!

[0791gnuoyj]

man this song says so much about me also. I wonder are there others who know what is right and yet choose to do wrong.

[wTwEntertainment]

Never give in to the devil, Your life is a gift from god. I have felt the same way you have, where you just wanna stop what your doing and burst out crying. Life is Cruel but you just have to have the faith to forgive those who did bad and give them the courage to be good and follow god. God is by your side waiting to give your heart to him. He loves you more than anything in the world.

[jonnyboylacroix]

this song is the most amazing song i got in my collection!!!to date....

[redwingedangel87]

absolutely beautiful

[wTwEntertainment]

This a helpful to anyone because whenever you feel like not trying or caring this will bring your faith back and keep it there.

[KAHJDEERE]

I'm singing this at my church talent show im going to put up a short preview! So watch and leave comments plase!

[pharoe83]

What IF

[scottwolfe92]

This song is so inspiring

[roxiimornica]

So often i feel like im not real, like im a robot completeing what i have to do, but then GOD breaks through and im real. Im elated. instead of 'going through the motions' i can feel the action and life in them!!! GOD is the only way to really live life!!!!

[wandoogbe]

God bless Matthew West. Maybe he know nothing but peace till death do him part.

[scottwolfe92]

Very motivational and very powerful song. God Bless

[dukes20084]

Such a great song!!! Cant stop listening to it !!!

[momonono000]

Ah, gotta love an awesome song. Inspiring music and lyrics! I also agree with "vinessatwins321". You just can't get tired of it! Like ham....; }

[momonono000]

What an AMAZING song! Great, inspiring music and lyrics. I'm thinking the Motions is normality, but we need to break through that to bring everyone to Christ. GO JESUS! GO MATTHEW WEST!!

[brooke349]

very good song.

VERY inspiring! ;)

[LatersP]

this song makes me cry but i NEVER turn it off cuz i luv it so much. i dont listen to a lit of Christian songs, despite my religion, but these type of Christains songs rox

[psaquan]

this new youtube is jus retarded

[RainingScilence]

Incredible....I love it.

[chabm]

Great song...with so much meaning in the words.

[dsmartuk]

I got on to this song from a TV show I think, i just cant remember what show it was on, can anybody help?

[cmorrow132]

This is a good song for anybody in any walk of life. You're scared to do something, so you don't. But you will always have that wondering later - what if I did? What did I miss out on because I didn't take that step. It will always haunt you if you do give in to fear.

[Rodney348]

a perfect song to "wake up" to, i recently heard this sung in person then I heard it on the radio a couple days later, i had to pull over because God made me relize, I was just going through the motions and it was time to wake up.

[JayBird1031]

especially through that new "teen pop sensation" Justin Bieber...i just dont understand guys :/ ...

[JayBird1031]

Why is it that people dont listen to more music like this?

[JoeChesHarv]

he is a good singer and i love this song

[nunyabz2]

i am soo buying this song on itunes

[pao123ish]

me and my friend were hearing this song on the radio and i was all like man ris song is asomwe yae

[mwirth4]

i felt it was rather lame.

[kristennnlovesyou]

he played at my church(((:

[tigerfanmac]

did he?!?!?!?!

[vinessatwins321]

Cant get tired of this song!!:)

[thumb5butterscoch]

@vinessatwins321 i no me too !!!!

[verusik2010]

@vinessatwins321

you're sooooo right...no matter how many times you listen to this song: cannot get tired of it. LOVE THIS SONG!

[bumblebeesflying]

lovee this song :)

[JMMEC2]

i love this song prais god!!!!!!!!

[phalesfamily]

mwirth4, ive only seen one of ur comments cuz u have so many negatives.(great job!) but i only need one 2 know that u REALLY don't understand God. Matthew is just expressing his gratefullness that God has mercy and love, and u think thats lame? all love, all mercy. thats what God is, and u scorn that. u should be ashamed. i agree with babylove472 and shadow13524.

[esthercookiemonster]

This song has ALWAYS been my fav!!i absolutely love this song..his voice is AMAZING!!<33!!

[fenrirkh2]

babylove472 haha, great! I agree all the way!! Amazing song, it really touched my heart in soo many ways, God is amazing!!

[sarah03ful]

@mwirth4

If you believe, christian music is lame, so then what are you doing on this website?

I would suggest you to go an atheist website my friend.

[avpgm]

no, that's not a good suggestion if your a christian.

[sarah03ful]

@avpgm

yeah that is true, i should not have said that. but some people like mwirth4 kind of bother me.

[ana7bella]

I was there too! I felt the same way!! But I've learned not to worry about them...one day they will see too. Our job is to tell people about them. We just keep looking to God and pray that he will unveil their eyes so that they too may enjoy his love. Bless your heart! I love this song! =)

[ana7bella]

@ sarah03ful

oops sorry i made a typo...

*Our job is to tell people about Him* not *them ehhee its late...but u get my point!

[sarah03ful]

@ana7bella

yea that is true, thank you for the comment, God blesses you sis.

[Rodney348]

@sarah03ful it is part of this world for people to be like that, but you only have to remember, set an example and allowmGod to work and judge, ya know? God Bless

[sarah03ful]

@Rodney348

Very true, thanks for the comment, God spoke to me through you. I was actually thinking about those unbelievers, on how mad I feel because of the way they think, but what you say is right, it is not my right to judge them but I should let God judge them and all i have to do is set up the good example. Good comment thanks.

[Rodney348]

@sarah03ful I recently had the same battle with how non-believers can be, God will show you peace and a clear head on how to approach non-believers, just place all your trust in him and the words will come.

[PsychoticTwilighter]

agreed and besides it's YouTube, which is not a Christian site.

[Rodney348]

@mwirth4 may God have mercy on your soul my friend because he is who you answer to in the end not us so our opinion does not really matter only you can change yourself.

[Rodney348]

@mwirth4 may God have mercy on your soul my friend because he is who you answer to in the end not us so our opinion does not really matter only you can change yourself.

[onecoolcat43]

Im not the religious type but you cant deny a good song. While it is obviously Christian, I think it can be applied to anyones life, not simply to their relationship with their God. Kudos on quality music, which seems to be an ever-decreasing rarity these days

[OzTerri]

@onecoolcat43 yep, i totally agree with your comment. and i like listening to the Newsboys nowadays too. a couple of the newsboys songs are excellent.

[ChristanGirl17]

@onecoolcat43 Im a christan and i dont describe it has religion cus its not its faith and its a reltinship with god just to tell u :)

[babylove472]

o my gosh mwirth4 u think this song is lame u ned to listen to the lyrics and have u ever gone through the motions. the Lord is amazing and he does amazing things for me and for you i love the Lord

[klona7]

another AWSOME SONG if only all songs were this good

[mwirth4]

Faith +1 had the original version of this song, it ROCKED
