"Just okay is not enough...gonna let my heart defeat my mind"

This amazing song has been playing in my heart since the day I first heard it riding in my car. I've become so complacent with life these days. Letting so many opportunities to glorify the Lord and grow my relationship with him pass me by.

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 okay 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 okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause 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?"

~Matthew West, The Motions

you should hear one of my patients who has severe cp sing every single word of this (and every other word of every other song on wafj for that matter)...it's really amazing! it's amazing what kids know (or choose to do something about) that we don't...
