Tell Your Heart to Beat Again

Music has a way of connecting people through emotion. Sometimes it is good emotion, but a lot of times the worst pain can only be expressed through music. Danny Gokey was a worship leader whose wife died from complications of a routine heart surgery. I found inspiration in his book, Hope In Front of Me and most of his music has been a very realistic depiction of my feelings.

"Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" is a great song; it tells the story of where I've been, but more importantly where I am. "Beginning, just let that word wash over you. It’s alright now, Love’s healing hands have pulled you through. So get back up take step one. Leave the darkness feel the sun Cause your story’s far from over and your journey’s just begun"

You’re shattered
The life you knew
In a thousand pieces on the floor
And words fall short in times like these
When this world drives you to your knees
You think you’re never gonna get back
To the you that used to be

Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat again

Beginning
Just let that word wash over you
It’s alright now
Love’s healing hands have pulled you through
So get back up take step one
Leave the darkness feel the sun
Cause your story’s far from over
And your journey’s just begun

Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat again

Let every heartbreak
And every scar
Be a picture that reminds you
Who has carried you this far
'Cause love sees farther than you ever could
In this moment heaven's working
Everything for your good
