All of Matthew West's songs can be applied to every Christian's life. "The Motions" is a wonderful wake-up song that will make you think about your daily walk with God. "The Center" will remind you to stay focused on God, and "Something to Say" keeps you motivated to serve God with all your heart. Matthew West does a great job on focusing on Christian reality.
