This song has been echoing in my heart all week...
Am I living each day to the fullest or just living?
Do I stop to listen to God's voice or am I in too big of a hurry?
Do I truly care about those around me or do I only really care about me?
Am I just going through the motions...
Am I living each day to the fullest or just living?
Do I stop to listen to God's voice or am I in too big of a hurry?
Do I truly care about those around me or do I only really care about me?
Am I just going through the motions...

This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
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
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
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Take me all the way

This song has really spoken to me lately, gives me much to think about!
I think it is important though, to remember that we are to choose to obey and follow God no matter if we feel anything or not. So much of "the church" has been taught that we are to feel something on an emotional level and if we don't we aren't "doing enough" or following God. But that is not how God meant for us to be. He wants us to follow by faith not by emotion or what we think our heart feels. When we look at the cross and the freedom Jesus brought to us through His death there and remember that we are no longer under ANY of the Old Law...we are under a completely new covenant, Praise God!... then we experience a freedom like no other. A freedom from feeling like we have to do more or have a passion for God. When if we would simply follow by faith that passion that the songwriter is talking about will be there and overflow in abundance. We may not always "feel" like we have that passion but others will see it in our life because of our Lord's love spilling out of us.
If we are daily spending getting to really know who God is through His word we can't help but keep from "going through the motions". Praise God for the freedom we have through Jesus Christ!!
