Matthew West

Before becoming an award-winning CCM artist, Matthew West began his professional career penning hits for other artists, including Billy Ray Cyrus, Rascal Flatts, and Point of Grace. A high-school baseball star, he'd originally hoped to attend college on a sports scholarship; instead, West accepted a four-year music scholarship from Millikin University, where he wound up recording several solo albums before graduating in 1999. On the strength of the spiritual pop songs that appeared on September Sun (1997), Every Step of the Way (1998), and Sellout (2002), he began landing work as a songwriter for hire. West also drew interest from Universal South Records, who signed the artist and released his major-label debut, the Dove Award-winning Happy, in 2003.

History followed in 2005, and West supported the album's release with the first headlining tour of his career. Excessive use of his voice led to severe medical problems, though, forcing West to undergo throat surgery in 2007 to remove multiple polyps. Following a period of vocal rest, he returned in 2008 with Something to Say. The album's lead single, "You Are Everything," became the most-played song on Christian radio in 2008, and West -- now fully healed and singing comfortably -- quickly returned to the studio to record 2010's The Story of Your Life, which also charted well. ~ James Christopher Monger & Andrew Leahey, Rovi

I love this song. I got it from a friend in college, and I know every word. This is my song for me. Thanks for singing it. It helped me push myself through college, and I graduated in Sept. 2011 with honors from ITT at the age of 57. Nothing is impossible with God!

A poignant and transparent expression of the unrest that leads to the place of true rest.

the motions is a really touching song
I love his song "The Motions".
@ Marcia Beckner: Agreed! & where's his "The Writer's Room: An Acoustic EP" & "Something To Say Christmas Edition".
those are awesome albums
blessmarcia
Where is 'when I say I do'?
I enjoyed seeing him in concert on K-love's Music Cruise--he's a hoot!
Y'all need to watch his documentary on www.tangle.c o m if you haven't already. It is amazing seeing him surrender to Jesus in his time of helplessness . Seeing God use his silence to change so many lives, so many doubts.
"The Motions" is the best song I have ever heard and every thing about the song is stuck in my heart. It really is a life changing song.
