Zoe Worship - Momentum Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm not striving in my own strength
But I'm striving in Yours
I'm not trying to find my own way
I'm walking Your course
Not thinking 'bout my own plans
I'm thinking 'bout Yours
With You my steps are safe
You motion me forward
And now I'm moving at a different pace
And no matter what I'm gonna face
I know that nothing's gonna go to waste
'Cause I'll be running, running for You
You're my momentum
Running, running for You
When I'm growing weary
You're my energy
When I start to lose focus
You're my clarity
I wanna hear just Your voice
You open up doors
With You my steps are safe
You motion me forward
And now I'm moving at a different pace
And no matter what I'm gonna face
I know that nothing's gonna go to waste
'Cause I'll be running, running for You
You're my momentum
Running, running for You
I have abundant life
Never falling behind
I have abundant life
Never falling behind
And now I'm moving at a different pace
And no matter what I'm gonna face
I know that nothing's gonna go to waste
'Cause I'll be running, running for You
And now I'm moving at a different pace
And no matter what I'm gonna face
I know that nothing's gonna go to waste
'Cause I'll be running, running for You
You're my momentum
Running, running for You

Momentum
Meaning & Inspiration
Zoe Worship's "Momentum," released on February 9, 2023, is a powerful anthem that dives deep into the transformative power of surrendering one's own efforts to divine guidance. The song eschews personal striving for a profound reliance on God's strength, beautifully articulating a shift from self-directed paths to "walking Your course" and from personal ambitions to contemplating God's plans. This intentional relinquishing of control is not about passivity, but rather an active, faith-filled trust, where every step feels secure because it is divinely propelled. This resonates deeply with verses like Isaiah 40:31, which promises that those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, soaring on wings like eagles, running and not growing weary, walking and not being faint. The lyrics capture this essence, moving beyond mere exertion to a more dynamic, divinely fueled progress, signified by the declaration, "You motion me forward."
The chorus, "And now I'm moving at a different pace... 'Cause I'll be running, running for You. You're my momentum," is the heart of the song's message. This "different pace" isn't necessarily about speed but about a fundamentally altered rhythm of life, one guided by an internal force. It speaks to the assurance that even in the face of challenges, nothing is wasted when pursuing God's will. This echoes the promise found in Romans 8:28, stating that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. The concept of "momentum" itself suggests a continuous, building force, not one that relies on sporadic bursts of energy but on an enduring, intrinsic power provided by the Divine. The repetition of "running, running for You" emphasizes a fervent devotion and an unwavering commitment to follow wherever God leads.
The verses further elaborate on this reliance, portraying God as the source of energy when weariness sets in and clarity when focus wavers. This acknowledgment of human frailty juxtaposed with divine sufficiency is a cornerstone of Christian living. The desire to "hear just Your voice" highlights a yearning for discernment and obedience, recognizing that God "opens up doors" to opportunities and paths aligned with His will. This is beautifully captured in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." The recurring affirmation, "With You my steps are safe," is a profound declaration of peace and security found in divine partnership, a testament to God’s faithfulness in guiding and protecting His followers. The reiteration of having "abundant life" and "never falling behind" reinforces the idea that following God's momentum leads to a life of fulfillment and progress, not in the world's terms, but in the eternal perspective of His kingdom. "Momentum" by Zoe Worship is therefore a compelling invitation to embrace a life of surrendered purpose, where divine energy fuels every step and unwavering faith ensures a journey marked by grace and enduring progress.
