Motions

VERSE 1
I went to church each Sunday
ever since I was a kid
The biggest thing I learned
was how to hide my ugliness
I drag around the weight
of everything I ever did
I can’t go through the motions any more

When grace is just a bunch of
empty words before a meal
And hope is nothing more
than thinkin’ ‘bout what isn’t here
My motivation’s gone
and tired’s always how I feel
I can’t go through the motions any more

I become what I don’t wanna be
If there’s no one around to see me
God, I’m praying won’t You please set me free
From empty motions and the places they lead

VERSE 2
I can preach the Gospel
like the Good Book says to do
But Jesus said to teach them to
obey what He said, to
I don’t want to be
the kind of guy He never knew
I can’t go through the motions any more

When doin’ good is just a way
to change the way I feel
And lookin’ for acceptance is
the way I try to heal
My efforts might be nothin’ more
than tryin’ to make a deal
I can’t go through the motions any more

I don’t act like I’m really free
From the shame that You took from me
I’m not blind but I can’t seem to see
Past empty motions and the places they lead

VERSE 3
Doubt is just a thought about
the man I could’ve been
But it leaves the door wide open
and then fear comes right on in
Tell me that Your love does more
than just forgive my sin
‘Cause I can’t go through the motions any more

God I know that Your grace ransomed me
But I don’t want a faith that only believes
When my feelings and my faith don’t agree
I’m afraid where empty motions might lead
I just wanna be who You call me to be

My Redeeming God

VERSE
The heavens declare Your glory God
All creation speaks Your Name
How I long for Your grace, oh God
Heaven and earth sing Your praise
Who can discern his own error
Cleanse me oh Lord and purify my heart

CHORUS
May the words of my mouth
And the thoughts of my heart
Be pleasing in Your sight
You’re my redeeming God
(repeat)

TAG
Oh, You’re my God
Oh, You’re my God

O God You Reign

VERSE 1
Let Your Kingdom reign in me
Cleanse my heart and make me clean
Like the rising of the sun
Your glory shines for all to see

I want to worship at Your feet
My life a fragrant offering
Like the finest of perfumes
I pour it out to You my King

CHORUS
O God You reign
O God You reign

VERSE 2
Let Your glory shine in me
In Your light the darkness flees
Like the dawn of a new day
Your grace is freeing me to see

I want to worship at Your feet
Humbled to know that You’re with me
There’s a stirring in my soul
Your presence leading me to sing

CHORUS
O God You reign
O God You reign
