Why don't we take a stand

Against the fear that rules the hearts of men

They're crushed and broken by the weight of sin

Do our lives point the way to him

We're full of knowledge we're so well fed

Our churches are crowded but our witness is dead

We say that we're living and pointing the way

But if you look around you'll see nothing's really changed

We're just going through the motions

Going through the motions

Where is the devotion

I said we're going through

Going through

Going through the motions

Where oh where are the tears in the night

The cries of repentance for a holier life

Our hearts are hardened and our worship is cold

Our faith is weak because our prayers are old

We need a fire to fall from above

And set us aflame with a passionate love

That burns for our Father and cares for the lost

But I don't really think we've ever counted the cost

We're still going through the motions

Going through the motions

Where is the devotion

Oh we're going through

Going through

Going through the motions

I said we need a fire to fall from above

And set us all aflame with a passionate love

We say that we're living and pointing the way

But if you look around you'll see nothing's really changed

Going through the motions

Going through the motions

Where is the devotion

Oh when we're going through

Going through

Going through

Going through the motions

I'm going through the motions the fallen sons

I said where is the devotion

When we're just going through

Going through

Going through the motions

When we're just going through

Going through

Going through the motions
