Since the 2003 release of his Universal South debut, Happy,
Matthew West has been on a fast track to making music
history. The project’s first single, “More,” held the #1
spot on R&R’s Christian Adult Contemporary singles chart
for a record-breaking nine weeks and went on to be named
Christian Song of the Year by ASCAP. Capping off an
eventful year, Matthew was nominated in five
categories—including New Artist of the Year— at the 2005
GMA Music Awards. Meanwhile, the young singer/songwriter
has had his songs recorded by many of the top names in
Christian music, and last year, country’s Rascal Flatts was
added to the list.
So when it came time to begin work on his highly

Hard time in life | Reviewer: AJ
------ About the song The Motions performed by Matthew West
As I was driving to work this morning this song came on. I feel like our family is just going through the motions of life. We have had up and downs the last year. It's been a hard year on family and our marriage. This song touch me in a way that tells me I need to get out family going and have life again.
My Father's Passing | Reviewer: Calvin
------ About the song Only Grace performed by Matthew West
When I first heard this song, I would have never thought it to be the perfect song to sing at a funeral. But when my father passed away on 04/26/09, this song was all I could think about. He had lived his life in such a way that only a death-bed confession saved him. All his mistakes and sins were washed away just days before he drew his last breath. As a result of him giving his heart to God, his new life began indeed when he met Jesus in heaven. Thank God for His grace. And God also helped me to overcome so much bitterness and unforgiveness by seeing my Dad through His eyes instead of my own human eyes. I'm finally free from the weight of unforgiveness!!!
Encouragement | Reviewer: Aimee
------ About the song History performed by Matthew West
This song is very encouraging... my friend is going through a hard time, and this song popped into my head not minutes after I had been talking to her, so I got back on the computer and emailed her the lyrics. I know this will help her feel better about her future, and anyone else who is having trouble focusing on the present and future, instead of the past.
Great Song! | Reviewer: john O'Dell
------ About the song The Motions performed by Matthew West
I heard this on the radio one night, after work. I was immediately struck by the message that it contains: I don't want to be a wanna-be Christian- having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof!
It is reminescent of some other songs, including Degarmo & Key's 'Casual Christian' (i don't wanna be a casual Christian, I don't wanna live a luke-warm life...)
Great song Matthew. Thanks!
Heard It On The Radio! | Reviewer: David
------ About the song The Motions performed by Matthew West
I went to prayer meeting the other night, as usual. This night suddenly changes as soon as I sat down on the altar steps to pray for the church and needs. I didn't want to just go through the motions another time. I cried out to God and said, "I can't pray another time about the services and not see You move... Lord.
Sunday, oh my gosh, it was so amazing. Out of the blue a healing time was offered. People were healed physically, others spiritually and some were set free of years of bondage. It was so not going through the motions another Sunday.
About three days later I heard it on the radio - "THE MOTION"
Thanks Matthew for writing your passions, we all desire to live not another day going through the motions, but live and breath the power of Him!

Forgiveness | Reviewer: Sister
------ About the song Only Grace performed by Matthew West
I've always had guilt in the way I treated my younger brother when we were younger, it could be because of jealousy, hurt, anger, and just wanting him out of our life. I've felt that our life was already miserable enough, why did he have to come into our life? Today, as my husband and I were in the car, a thought of Matthew came into my mind, then this song came on. I looked over the CD player and it showed the name of the singer, Matthew West, and it sent chills right through my spine. I was feeling guilty for the hurt that I have caused him, for the anger that I have reflected towards him, for the hurtful things that I have said to him, and how much I could not forgive myself for it, I had tears in my eyes looking up to the sky and hoping to hear Jesus speak to me but I could not hear him, I had too much hurt and guilt in my heart to hear him, then this song came on... It truly was a miracle, God is with us at all times, and there are times where He seems so far away its because we do not take the time to sit and really listen and let Him in, and it my trials in doing so today, He came to me in a song... Thank you for the very inspiring messages and words. This song truly touched my heart like no other. God Bless and be strong in your walk with God. Amen.
Very Moving | Reviewer: Cristiano
------ About the song History performed by Matthew West
I usually do not listen to christian music. I'm not a christian. But recently I've been really reflecting on all the mistakes I've made in life. And there seems to be a ton. I started getting a depressed by this, and then I happened to hear this song. It has made a real difference in me. I think it's very moving and made me realize that everyone has baggage. I especially like the part “You know you can't stay right where you fell. The hardest part is forgiving yourself”. How true, I can forgive anyone for ANYTHING, but I can't forgive myself. What a great song. I hope everyone gets from what I have.
My Life After Husband's Porn Addiction | Reviewer: Barbi
------ About the song Only Grace performed by Matthew West
This song sums up my feelings after we went to a 3-day intensive counseling series with Doug Weiss at Heart to Heart in Colorado Springs. After 35 years of bondage due to porn addiction, my husband is a new man. We are now like newlyweds, after 27 years of marriage! Everything is brand new, we really have begun all over, now with a zeal and passion to help those in the same circumstance. THERE ARE MULTITUDES AND SATAN LIKES IT THAT WAY! Praise God for the ministry of Heart to Heart, and for Matthew West, who gave me a new theme song!
Great song! | Reviewer: SamOath
------ About the song History performed by Matthew West
I love this song so much, it would have to be one of the best christian lyric songs i know of, Im normally a fan of the genre as i normally listen to underoath and as i lay dying and bands like that, but this song is amazing, I can relate to this song so much, i have stuffed up heaps in the past, and asking god to forgive you and start living a life of love and loving others, is one of the best choices you will ever make.
9.5/10 great song

------ About the song You Know Where To Find Me performed by Matthew West
I liked this song very much. It helped me through so difficult times, if you believe it. I love the way it reminds you that you are not alone, no matter how much you feel so. It touches on things like how sometimes you just can't make the effort to fit in, to not be so alone, and it reminds you that you don't need to make an effort to not be alone, because you never are.
Great Song! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song History performed by Matthew West
This is one of my all time favorite Christian songs! I love the lyrics especially because I can relate to them. Many times I have to remember that things that happened yesterday are in the past. You have to ask God to forgive you for what happened and then move on. Don't live in the past and dwell on your mistakes. Always remember that you are making history everyday.
Only Grace | Reviewer: Alle
------ About the song Only Grace performed by Matthew West
This song touched me.
It really helps me when I have a bad day.
I can know that there is something amazing waiting for me.
With no guilt, no shame and no blame.
God's mercy is enough to save me.
Whenever I fall, I get back up again
because I know that God is always there for me.
And he has Grace to save me from my sins.

------ About the song Only Grace performed by Matthew West
i prayed a lot that i may someday sing and inspire people and of course to worship my LORD-Jesus Christ thru music.I used to play this song in our home butthis past week i've been so evil in the eyes of my Lord-it's been 2 weeks now since i started going on my way-i know he's always ready to forgive if only i ask but i felt so condemned and with all the guilt and shame and fear, i lost my enthusiam to stay close to His presence..i felt bad,i felt so evil....but when i remember this song while on my station, i looked for the lyrics and when i sang it and read every line,i was healed then ask forgiveness..Realizing the highest level of God's forgiveness....when i fall, i must stand up and approach His throne of Grace,because i realized that Satan's job is always to destroy,kill and still everything that God gave us but it is OUR Lord jesus Christ with His love and mercy to forgive and forgive and forgive and forgive..wow,my heart is shouting now.I asked forgiveness and honor him once again.Coz whenever we fail and fall, He's gonna lift us up.C'mmon! stand now and rejoice!
