The words of this song sung by Danny Gokey has meant so much to me as I’ve walked this grief journey. Life for the spouse left behind isn’t easy and there are landmines along the way – stuff you just can’t foresee. Even in the midst of the landmines and psychological/emotional stuff, words from this song have spoken to me in a deep place. Each day along this journey presents new challenges. Thoughts change and the mind & heart can be thrown into turmoil quickly. Life seems to be moving forward and then it feels like there’s been a step or two backwards. This is all normal…………..and maybe it’s because of these crazy moments that this song has been so meaningful for me. I hope it will be meaningful for you. Peace……………..
Tell Your Heart To Beat Again
Shattered……like you’ve never been before – The life you knew in a thousand pieces on the floor – And words fall short in time 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.
