Through The Motions Lyrics

Lord I need you in my life

It's so dire without You I'll die

I make myself nothing so you can come inside

And shine your Holy Light and be glorified

But oh Lord this heart of mine

It's so wicked it has its own mind

To do what it wants when it wants

I try to cast it down but rises out the mud

I pray and read everyday

But with the motive what's in it for me

If I got nothing would I be trying

Or would I forsake you and live by me

Lord my mind yearns for thee

But my heart feels no need

Out of this body I just wanna flee

Get this wicked nature out of me

I wanna serve you Lord with all devotion

But I can't help but feel the notion

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I don't wanna be going through the motions

Would I be faithful if it's no fun

Would I do your will if mines not done

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I wanna be led by the Lord not my emotions

I wanna serve You even if there's no promotion

To live is Christ to die is gain that's the focus

To be happy die and live in vain that's not purpose

Whether or not I'm called to live in peace

Or live in a cave with no family

Whatever is your will make it fine with me

Whatever is your will that I will seek

But's it's hard for me

When I wanna do good evil is present with me

Give me eyes to see

Help me die to my will

Submit to Yours and serve the King

I wanna serve you Lord with all devotion

But I can't help but feel the notion

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I don't wanna be going through the motions

Would I be faithful if it's no fun

Would I do your will if mines not done

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I wanna serve you Lord with all devotion

But I can't help but feel the notion

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I don't wanna be going through the motions

Would I be faithful if it's no fun

Would I do your will if mines not done

I don't wanna be going through the motions

I don't wanna be going through the motions

Oh oh woah

I don't wanna be goin through the motions

I don't wanna be goin through the motions

I don't wanna be goin through the motions

I don't wanna be goin through the motions

I don't wanna be goin through the motions

I don't wanna be goin through the motions

Lord I want to serve You with my whole life

I don't need no profit nor to be glorified

I just want my members to be mortified

Die to my flesh make my spirit fortified

I don't want any ulterior motives

Can't focus on my needs just wanna meet His

Jesus your my King for you I will live

Jesus your my King for you I will live
