Today’s song by Andrew Peterson seeks to capture the remarkable meaning of Jesus’s miraculous Easter resurrection: “His Heart Beats”
He took one breath
And put death to death
Where is your sting
Oh grave, how grave is your defeat
I know, I know His heart beats
Today, let us rejoice in our ultimate freedom bought by Jesus’s death and celebrate His unfathomable desire to bring us closer to Him for all eternity.
Thanks for listening today.
Here are the lyrics in full:
His heart beats His blood begins to flow Waking up what was dead a moment ago And His heart beats Now everything has changed 'Cause the blood that bought us peace with God Is racing through His veins And His heart beats His heart beats He breathes in His living lungs expand The heavy air surrounding death Turns to breath again He breathes out He is Word and flesh once more The Lamb of God slain for us is a lion ready to roar And His heart beats So crown Him the Lord of life Crown Him the Lord of love Crown Him the Lord of all He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting Oh grave, how grave is your defeat I know, I know His heart beats He rises Glorified in flesh Clothed in immortality The firstborn from the dead He rises And His work's already done So He's resting as He rises to reclaim the bride He won And His heart beats So crown Him the Lord of life Crown Him the Lord of love Crown Him the Lord of all He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting Oh grave, how grave is your defeat I know, I know His heart beats The last enemy to be destroyed is death The last enemy to be destroyed is death He must reign until no enemy is left The last enemy to be destroyed, to be destroyed is death His heart beats He will never die again I know that death no longer has dominion over Him So my heart beats With the rhythm of the saints As I look for the seeds the King has sewn To burst up from their graves I know, I know He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting Oh grave, how grave is your defeat I know, I know He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting Oh grave, how grave is your defeat How great, how great is His victory I know, I know His heart beats (Crown Him the Lord of life) His heart beats I know, I know His heart beats (Crown Him the Lord of all) His heart beats
