One of my favorite artist! Love this song!

[imjustK]

Great song! Although, I did notice that he was writing with his left hand, but playing guitar with his right hand.

[rlog41]

@imjustK must be ambidextrous haha....i saw him play live he can definitely play guitar and i'm just guessing he's capable of writing as well haha

[NarniaFan91]

beautiful! what a blessing to watch:)

[MrBubs1964]

So inspiring and thank god for Matthew West

[boxwarrior9985]

This could touch anyone

[radiantlau]

last year (2011), before Christmas eve I slept with my small dog and on Christmas eve night my dog left at night and since then we couldn't find him, soon we are leaving where I am curently living in to another house far but more into the city. Now in 2012 I made a new years resolution that I will take care of every pet I have. he still hasn't come back and I will take any responsibility I have and give it my all because without god, I wouldn't be hurting right now.

[StephSuperness]

What a wonderful song

[Breanna9693]

i love this song it is the best everrrrrrrr...

[TrekkieViolinist]

While I normally downvote songs like this when they come through my Pandora stations, this was an incredibly awesome song. Mr. West has an amazing voice and this song was amazing - religious overtones or not.

[AmyLeeGonce]

Right now my church is going through a revival. Not just the church all together, but in each individual as well. I finally decided it's time to stop going through the motions and just give it all to God. I'm happy to say that on January 1, 2012 I will be getting baptized. I'm starting a new year with a new life.

[ogbalr]

This song gets me through!

[belieber3033]

This made me cry. It's great to see him writing music and projecting his voice more. He's an inspiration to all. #voiceofgod <3 Powerful song. Love it.

[darrellthood]

i was going to meet him last night but i didnt want to :I i so should

[Mikesdailyjukebox]

no more "what if"'s - powerful song!

[denianngrant]

@Mikesdailyjukebox WHen ever they come YELL SO WHAT!!!!

[Anastasia2011ful]

[IKECH545]

GIVE EVERYTHING!

[SonicZeroGravity49]

this song gives me the chills #voiceofGod

[bm3221]

I am a soldier in the national guard. God wants are best in honor of him in everything we do. Well I was an ok soldier. I was just goingthrough the motions. Then I heard this song . Something had to change. I decided to become a Cavalry Scout. It was tough training for me becuase I never thought I could do it. I switched to 112th Cav and they sent me to the school. It was tough for me. I leaned on God to get me through it. But I actually became a Cav Scout.Thanks Matthew West.Scouts Out!

[TheDarknessTrembles]

There is not one word, To describe what Jesus Christ has done for me.

My life was truly in addictions. I was beyond a wretch...and like a wretch, I deserved to die. But God did not let me die. He made me new, and you know. There are times when i sit here and cry...I remember the past...and it hurts...To know what i did. What i lost. But i will never give up...thanks to God. I am a warrior...and i shall praise his name in good and bad by his mercy! Pray for me! Love you all! God Bless!- Edward

[mishafy]

i love this song! and i wonder why people dont lik it. if you dont, why? i wont judge you, im just curious. i know some people have a hard time believing in god for one reason or another. anyway, this is an absolutely amazing song ffrom an amazing artist

[IAMinistries90]

Take Me all The way.... (8)

[DEmersonJMFM]

People these days take too much for granted.

[TheISHISHISH]

This really woke me up and opened my eye. Thank you. And I also will pray to God so others may know this song.

[yello1ninja]

I'm gonna make sure that I pray for people, so that they may know the beauty of this song. God bless you all :D

[wannadieessay]

I know i gotta make a change...this path is not good.

[TheSupercitylover]

my great friend is having Surgry tomorrow & she sent me this, thanks for posting this

this is a WONDERFULL song,

love it

god bless..

[skipperooo7]

God always has a say in the end! I love how God has given so many Christians the ability to sing through worship songs! It's a blessing!! All I know is that, without God I wouldn't have made it this far in life. God bless all of you and remember that Jesus loves you. (:

[Ceci8Dawn]

this song helped me get through this past summer and yet i know there is more to come i rely on christian music to help me through the toughest times in life

[GallopGirl40]

"I don't want to spend my whole life asking. What is I had given everything?"

[Altariusproto]

Up until this year i had never heard this song. But I can't imagine that it has lost any of it's potency in the last 4 years. My life has been veering from God for over a decade, and this song is helping me to take steps back to the right road. It has become, like it has for many others, my theme song.

[pengoo21la]

Anyone remember Audio Adrenaline?

A great Christian Band.

The lead singer had to stop singing, because otherwise he would lose his voice or something like that.

Check out the song Goodbye, by Audio Adrenaline.

It's so sad.

I'm so glad Matthew West is okay.

He's a great person.

[korrensuungon]

he talks about something we should listen and understand

[NinjapiratePC]

This might not sound life changing, but for me it was. I'm in middle school, and I'm one of the kids that's really smart but I never did any of the work. I just assumed I could breeze through everything. I listened to this song and realized how much I was like it. I've been going through the motions, settling for just OK, when I should be striving to do my best. Until now everything has gone by so fast, but now I enjoy it all a bit more.

[AleahStrauss]

@NinjapiratePC i was the same way. I always got above average on my MCAs but I never did my homework. This song changed that for me too

[mk99nc]

@NinjapiratePC I'm in highschool and I still do this... The hard part isn't.. Starting the change for better. It's keeping at it even when times get challenging, and to never give up hope in God.

[touched4life]

I love listening to this song in the morning on my way to work or when I am going through something! i don't care who is next to me when I start singing this! When I heard this verse "I dont want to spend my whole life asking, what if I have given everything," it made me realize that I should still remain strong no matter what presents in my life. It's not worth giving up! We all have a purpose in life! How do you expect to reach others if you give up! Press on!

[KristenAndLisa]

this is a beautiful song, and i love the message Matthew West is giving through this song. praise Christ always!

[thugnometrist]

I PRAY THE UNBELIEVER STARTS BELIEVING...I PRAY GODS MERCIFUL HANDS STRETCH TO ALL THIS MINUTE

[RFDbehindme]

This song is my anthem right now... I am so scared of feeling that I am not living up to what God has for me

[TH3B3A57]

@RFDbehindme Then Live it up <3 Get closer to him. It's all it takes. Put Him FIrst in your life... When you Do, Crazy things WILL happen =)

[horses2horses1]

He came to my school/church and preformed for us . Did u guys now him and jason houser wrote this song together ? jason houser actually lives in our small little tiwn called twin falls idaho and does worship for our chapel sometimes and he comes reguler to our church to . its kinda cool having some1 like him with us 

[hobo970]

I LOVE when he wrote

God has something to say--to us and through us.

[Scoootttydoo]

A very good question,. What if ... By the time the question is asked time seems short, or perhaps time is no longer part of the equation. Jesus is saddling the white horse right now !

[Jesusluvsyou33]

@goFREDman Thats good news :) I hope some day you see him in concert. :)

[JusticeBhadd]

I Really Enjoy This Song

[MrDejis]

FYI, GOD is AWESOME!!!

[Milller1323]

hey i need advice on how to tell this one person about God she isnt Christ ian and ive known her all my life i think i know what to tell her but could some one please give advice

[hoosierredneck1]

@Milller1323 The one thing I can say is find a balance between relational and relentless. Relate to her, but dont badger her constantly about becoming a christian. The idea is for her to see the Truth that is God, not you. =)

[Milller1323]

if anyone has a question about God i can help just send me a message

[sweetcandyy555]

AMEN GOD BLESS MATTHEW WEST LOVE THIS SONG!! i am a christian but after reading these comments some of them are very rude calling non believers nd dislikers retarded just rude nd un-christian. God is the one to judge we shouldn't be judging others because of there opinions, we cant force them or convince them 2 believe in jesus christ evn if it sadens us that is the holy spirits job not ours. BUT GOD BLESS MATTHEW WEST AMAZING SONG LOVE IT

[MrPhilliesFanz]

Christians Ftw..

[Jesusluvsyou33]

I saw MW in concert..he is amazing!! His music has made a sure difference in my life. :) God is so good :D Like/reply if you agree!!

[Milller1323]

i love reading all the comments about God he has made such a difference in so many lifes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[bellsparkle]

I read the comments but i still cant tell what life will be like without god

maybe there isnt a life without god u tell me

[TBIAllNew]

Great song. God's still good and His kindness' over all of the world.

[DX1418]

i made a video 'top 5 christian songs in my opinion' comment on my page and tell me your top 5 christian songs. so i can make a video of your guys songs

[timezoftheEscence]

how about to all the ppl complaining about how they dont need God, or how they wont convert, etc... why r u watching a song and video about how God has helped this man.if you dont like this then S.T.F.U. and stop looking at these types of videos! Because the things you guys say, can offended ppl who belive God is there for us.

[baileythomas26]

was the theme song for a camp called swan lake christan camp amazing place changed my life =)

[sweredweler]

every body wish me luck . im going to try to sing this at church next sunday . and i have sage fright

[AR15Justice]

I do see comments where people try to convert. What a load of fucking shit. I don't get why people always wanna convert me when (for the sake of not offending people) I have MY reasons why I don't believe in it. AND for the person below who said they wished humanity thought the same... That's the beauty of it, not everyone has to be the same person. It would be a shitty world with THE SAME OLD everything.

[Disneygirl3715]

@AR15Justice What's your problem?

[jtnelson07]

whoever disliked this is retarded

[NotFromDisEarth]

I wish all humanity thought the same..Is not enough living through the nothingness of this life.

[dparkify]

good song

[dparkify]

you rock go god

[Disneygirl3715]

One of my fave christian songs!

[WesMan282]

Mousehunt!



[live4jc97]

Even Matthew West would not be the same singer he would still be awesome. No matter what voice he has :)

[BlakeWalker27]

I love this song, and I'm agnostic. But some of you one here should be ashamed. Yes, it's christian rock, or whatever, but let people like the song for the SONG, not a religious base. And to sit there and type out that people are "hopeless" without him and that they will die a sad and lonely life, is just un-Christian. I would know. I studied plenty about the Christian religion. Not only that, but was raised in a strong Christian upbringing.

[miracleinthejourney]

@BlakeWalker27 I'm sorry you haven't experienced the life saving experience of knowing Jesus. You see, it isn't about religion, Christian religion, Christian upbringing, etc. It's all about relationship...relationship with The God who created this magnificent world & universe....I know how this may sound to you, I was there once myself, not so long ago that I can't remember. All I know is what I know and I know HE is real, HE is alive, and now I'm ALIVE and not going thru the motions

[BlakeWalker27]

@miracleinthejourney Lol, no. You're not gonna change my religion, so please stop trying right there. I'm Agnostic, proud, and I know it's how I believe.

[booknook1998]

@BlakeWalker27 I am Christian but, I agree with you. If you don't believe, you don't believe. I like how you get that. People can live a very happy life without God. I hate how people on here are trying to convert. Thanks for your words :)

[BlakeWalker27]

@booknook1998 Thank you :).

[whiteace05]

luv this song epsceaical that it has it has to do with the great powerful person named god

[rocyabodyrecords]

This song is very uplifting and quite amazing...Amazing voice!

[ilovejesus4evr]

To all the non-believers: I love you guys and pray for my community weekly yet God loves you even more and longs for a relationship with ALL His people and yes, you that don't believe too. I am thankful to God for this song as beautiful as it is, has brought you here. This song was inspired by the very God you say does not exist because serving Him should be with ALL you are and not just going through the motions. Matthews voice is one of God's miracles because of his faith. Don't delude it!

[haufman22]

Amen brother!!!

@darussianman

[haufman22]

AMEN!!!!!! darussianman!!!!1

[cocoaBUTTERGEISHA]

@TellMeWhenToCall911 Then why not just say this is good music and end it there. God doesn't need your stamp of approval but it's good know that we have the ability to choose about His existence.

[booknook1998]

@cocoaBUTTERGEISHA Because it is annoying how so many people on here are trying to convert or whatever and taking about how people are wasting their life without God. And how they will live a sad life without Him. You can live a perfectly happy life without Him. I am Christian, but some people on here are definitely not acting like it.

[FlamingRose11]

@TellMeWhenToCall911 *insert life-changing youtube comment here* :D yes friend, you are fright. this is good music, and no, its not religiously biased.

[DaylanSutton]

@absolution012 i feel like there is no more greater meaning than God.. without YOUR all consuming PASSION inside of me

[PartyRockifcation]

The god is amazing and Matthew's surgery was sucessful cause the lord was guilding him god bless him and everyone

[msjoejonas18]

great song :)

[absolution012]

i don't believe in God, but i think his songs have some meaning beyond that :)

[fish8chips]

this vid deserve much more views...it's so beautiful

[nets35]

This song reminds us never give up you might go through a ruff patch in life but not giving up is key and also lean on GOD because he he always there

[ericnourani]

the begining is the best . (musically) right? everyone?

[BrittanyLynification]

6 people went through the motions.

[trompser]

@BrittanyLynification and one person still needs to learn about grace and loving someone where they're at.

[trompser]

@BrittanyLynification and one person still needs to learn about grace and loving someone where they're at.

[kutiepie927]

Matthew west is a very focused Cristian he is very onto god he is born again and he will go to heaven!!!!

[hetiseennacht]

Amen to this. No more going thru the motions. It is time to live my life on purpose!

[KINKYWETBANANA]

i dont quite understand WHY justin bieber is in the suggestions!



[DreamsofMajesty]

For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.

[jerseygrl325]

i just saw him perform this song in concert... got right up next to the stage it was SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!

[TheMegaPwn]

Very powerful, it "Makes me feel something" and alot more.

[TFESmiles]

I really God thanks for His Divine Healing. Matt is such an awesome artist. One of my faves. I give God thanks that He made a vid like this. It ministers to me & I'm sure that it does the same for others! Love you Matt!

[legacythe34th]

the best modern christian song evaaarrrr =D dude, you make me proud to be a son of god

[8904cmoney]

this song is awesome to listen to when your having a horrible day or for anything

[xAnukisx]

Even if you're not a Christian, this song can give a lot of inspiration to those who need it.

[soulsinger01]

I read through these comments and I think, "Does everyone get the point of this song?" Matt sang this to tell people to live the life of a Christian, pay attention to the little things, be grateful, and don't let life just slip by with no purpose. Instead of shunning the people that didn't click "like" to this song or praising Matthew West and his song (Not saying it isn't great!), focus on praising God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and ask yourself, "What you can I do to be a better Christian?"

[timezoftheEscence]

@soulsinger01 thank you for posting this, the last words u wrote truly touched me



[IxAMxFRUITCAKE]

@soulsinger01 Umm i dsagree. All you said is true but i think this is a call to true faith "dont just go through the motions" (:

[Aaron5464]

@soulsinger01 Amen to that. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one.

[skipperooo7]

@soulsinger01 Amen! Couldn't have said it any better!!!

God bless you

[1summt4nk]

freaky god and jesus people.

[TheePigeon]

what is a bible verse that goes with this song??? i need one for a presentation for my school and i am singing this song.. PLEASE HELP ME!! thank you

[Peruannita1988]

When I hear this song it reminds me that God is always with us on everything we are passing through our life...very inspiring song &lyrics..luv it!!

[javieraguasvivas]

This video gives lot of sense to this song. The Lord uses everything He can so we know his purpose and mercy in our lives. X',D

[mynameispotato641]

I <3 THIS SONG SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS ARTIST, HE IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITES! And he'll be in Hillsboro, Ohio this summer, and i live about 5 minutes from there, so I'm majorly excited!!!!!!

[AlmaFaith777]

What a blessed man...Very awesome proof that God does intervene in life in so many beautiful ways...Such an inspiration.

[theofficalskilletfan]

awsome song

[theofficalskilletfan]

5 people have problems or no speakers

[theofficalskilletfan]

I think 5 people have a serious problem or they don't have speakers

[yankeesperson22]

what an inspiring story! love this song

[NCsoft2233]

i love god and do listen to screamo and all else stuff but when it comes to this i love god and all the miracles hes perfomed and im only 13 years old

[NCsoft2233]

@mrvideogamevideos Sorry It's this generation we need to know how to use it

[DreamsofMajesty]

For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.

[CaughtTheMoon79]

What is Grace?

[PinkertonProductions]

@CaughtTheMoon79 That is very hard thing to answer. So I will just give you what I think Grace is. The Definition of grace is mercy; clemency; pardon. So for example God gives us grace through His son Jesus Christ who dies for our sins, so that we may one day get to see our Father in heaven. Grace is what keeps us from losing are lives to sin. Ephesians 2:8 " For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Hope that helps

[XxEmo1997xX]

5 people are lions made of pudding

[gs2250]

this always comes back into my head when i need it!

[tiffCify]

I had no idea about this surgery but have loved Matthew West's music for a long time. Amen!

[LeiaAOS]

I remember watching a video on his surgery in 7th grade. I also really like this song

[cjharrys]

@darussianman Forgive and forget!!!

[thomasjhipwell]

@darussianman lol. i totally agree. Praise the lord

[300AK47]

The people who disliked should be ashamed.

[Cbluesrocker]

I lead worship at the Oakridge Desciple house. It is a Christian based addiction house. My brother is in it and is about to graduate but this song is their FAVORITE song. People that go through the motions are in greater danger than those who dont know anything about God. If you are going through the motions and thing you hav a relationship w/ christ, you probably never will realize the truth. You arent gonna fix a problem if you dont know the problem is there in the first place.

[trainandbarkeep]

four poeple need ours prayers everyone! (:

[thomasjhipwell]

@trainandbarkeep not just four, but all the atheists and people who defy the lord must be prayed for.

[luvguitar223]

Matthew West is amazing!!! <3

[SargeEmpath]

This man makes Life look like pure artistry!

[twinklethumbs]

It annoys me how some immature people have to go through and dislike God sent stuff like this..:/ Ovbiously they don't understand how GREAT it feels to change..and get out of the motions of life..and TRUELY LIVE for God.<3

[Cole830]

this song has touched so many of my friends and brought them to christ

[boomexplosivo]

This song is AWESOME!!!! It just shows how god can help us if we're faithful!!!

[lildub201]

OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LivLife4Jesus101]

I love this song and video!

[kalarr1389]

his eyes are pretty

[jnfrye07]

We watched this video in church. It has such a good message. Praise God for his glory.

[michelahuwe]

@jnfrye07 which church do you go to i go to ICLV and he came for a concert it was amazing i loved it

[jnfrye07]

@michelahuwe That is amazing that he came to your church! What a great thing for him to do. We don't get famous people to come to our church- it's just a tiny one in MI.

[thomasjhipwell]

@michelahuwe lucky, im in philly, PA

[CornTasteGood]

3 people are Heartless, emotionless, Low lifes.

[PropertyOfHoliness]

[xchump]

[puppy2ful]

@ bskylar he means just appearing to serve God not really do everything you can to serve our Lord.

[bskylar11]

@puppy2ful  okay thank you

[bskylar11]

Okay i dont want to seem stupid but what does he mean the motions?
