Tell Your Heart to Beat Again
[Verse 1]
You're shattered, like you've never been before
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Your heart to beat again, beat again
Oh, so tell your heart to beat again
