Lyrics
GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS:
Every day I think of You
And what You?ve done for me.
But I don?t feel no different
From when I first believed.
I walk the walk
I talk the talk
But only on my terms
Giving into the enemy
Everywhere I turn.
C:
I?m going through the motions
In a future with no past
I?m going through the motions
Feeling like I won?t last.
I?m going through the motions
On the highway of destruction
I am going through the motions
Every day.
My life is full of storms
That all need to be stilled,
And my cold and empty heart
Could do with being filled.
You knocked at my door
I answered Your call
So why do I delay?
It?s hard to receive You
When the door is on its chain.
C:
I?m going through the motions
In a future with no past
I?m going through the motions
Feeling like I won?t last.
I?m going through the motions
On the highway of destruction
I am going through the motions
Every day.
You gave Your life for me
Beat the enemy
Help me live mine for You
Be seen
In all I say and do.
First time is called
Then the enemy falls
And when Your Kingdom comes
Welcome me
Like a Father to His Son.
Every day I?m thanking You
For all You?ve done for me.
The proof of You is all around
For everyone to see.
I take Your hand
In this fallen land
I know You?ll never leave my side.
Things won?t be easy
But at least I?ve got a guide.
C:
I?m going through the motions
In a future with no past
I?m going through the motions
Feeling like I won?t last.
I?m going through the motions
On the highway of destruction
I am going through the motions
Every day.
I?m going through the motions
I?m going through the motions
Every day.
I?m going through the motions
On the freeway of destruction
I am going through the motions
Every way.
First time is called
Then the enemy falls
And when Your Kingdom comes
Welcome me
Like a Father to His Son.
