Youtube Song Let Your Heart Beat Again

CCM Radio Edition.

Feb 16, 2016. Today nosotros'll be taking a look at "Tell Your Heart to Beat Once more" by Danny Gokey which currently sits at #12 on the 20theCountdownMagazine.

This song earned a disapproval immediately, but at that place is a adept thought expressed in the song that is worth exploring, that of the need to heal and move out of our by. The video we are using isn't the airplay version of the song, and it was recorded in a live-accept, so some of the words might be slightly unlike from what yous hear on the radio, but not enough to change its meaning. We are going with this version of the vocal because Danny retells the story of the groundwork of this vocal. Sadly, that groundwork wasn't scripture, it was an experience.

Danny Gokey didn't write this vocal. It was written past Randy Phillips of the trio Phillips, Craig, and Dean.

Lyrics

Shattered like you've never been before
The life you knew in a one thousand pieces on the floor
Words fall short in times like these
When this earth drives you lot to your knees
You think you're never going to get back to the you y'all used to exist.

Tell your center to crush once again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Permit the shadows fall abroad, footstep into the light of grace
Yesterdays a closing door you don't live in that location anymore
Say goodbye to where you've been
Tell your eye to beat again

Beginning just permit that word wash over you lot
It'due south alright now, love'south healing hands will pull you through
So get support, take step 1
Leave the darkness, feel the sun
Because your stories far from over and your journeying's just begun

And so Tell your heart to shell again
Close your eyes and breathe it in

Let the shadows fall abroad, stride into the light of grace
Yesterdays a closing door you don't alive there anymore
Say goodbye to where you lot've been
Tell your middle to beat again

Let every heartbreak and every scar
Be a motion picture that reminds yous, who has carried you this far
'Crusade dear sees farther than you ever could
In this moment Sky is working everything for your good

Tell your heart to crush again
Close your optics and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away, footstep into the light of grace
Yesterday's a endmost door you don't live at that place anymore
Say goodbye to where you've been
Tell your center to beat out again
Your heart to beat over again

…oh so tell your heart, to vanquish again…

Word

The bones premise of the song is faulty. Information technology isn't upward to you to tell your eye to beat again. The anecdote about a surgeon telling the anesthetized patient "tell your middle to crush once again" is quite compelling and moving, indeed it fits the definition of an "awesome story". But the story is and then used a springboard to suggest that this holds some sort of spiritual significant, that the Nifty Physician has healed our hearts, BUT… merely now it is up to u.s. to tell our hearts to crush once more. I have a real problem with that message. Despite that rousing story from an unidentified doc who talked his style into an undisclosed operating room, this is not how medicine works, this is non how healing works, non of our physical hearts nor of our souls. Delight note, I'm not maxim the story is fabricated, just that I couldn't verify any of it. Allow's look at the primary upshot with spiritualizing this anecdote and the bulletin of the song.

Synergism versus Monergism

The anecdote is existence used to push a notion that God heals the heart only it doesn't crush until we tell information technology to practise and so. Synergists give lip service to "salvation by faith alone" merely they'll tack on the demand for works to complete the salvation. Synergism is baked into the cadre theology of many churches, but also works its way into Monergistic churches. Why? Because part of our sinful nature is the desire to get credit for what we do. We also want to compare ourselves to others and we tin can't exercise that with "religion lonely" then we look to works to found a pecking order. Then, while the doctrine of these othordox churches conspicuously confess monergism, synergism creeps in to rob the laic of his/her assurance of conservancy. It'due south not new to our century, such creeping was already taking place in the early church.

Galatians 3:1-9 (ESV) | By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

O foolish Galatians! Who has bugged you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed equally crucified. Permit me ask you merely this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with organized religion? Are you so foolish? Having begun past the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the mankind?Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles amongst yous exercise so by works of the police force, or by hearing with religion— only every bit Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him equally righteousness"?

Know then that information technology is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles past religion, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you lot shall all the nations be blest." And so then, those who are of faith are blest along with Abraham, the human of faith.

The correct style to understand the office of practiced works is to view it as that which flows out from salvation rather than something that is needed to gain the assurance of salvation. When the Holy Spirit regenerates a person, granting saving organized religion at the hearing of the Word of Christ, that person is made alive in Christ. Fully. No need for that person to do anything, much less tell themselves to breath over again, or their heart to trounce again.

The stated purpose of this song in the ii "background" stories isn't presented as one of salvation. In fact, the original video from Randy Phillips targets those who've been hurt, who are broken-hearted. But such specifics didn't detect their way into the lyric, so we had to establish this groundwork first.

Healing of the broken-hearted

I mentioned before that this vocal did have something of merit in it, that is the idea of recovering from our by. Randy Phillips specified broken heartedness, and Danny Gokey left it a chip more broad, but the basic premise is that God has already healed your broken heart and then you need to stop living in it. Now matter how softly one makes this suggestion, information technology is still something you have to do, which makes it Law. The answer to this problem isn't in finding some formula or principle for how to exercise information technology; the reply is found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Apologize, and be forgiven in Jesus' Name. Jesus also taught that we needed to forgive others as nosotros take been forgiven. We cannot go on such a Law of our ain, we must extend the Grace nosotros've been given. Let's read some Scripture on the topic.

Matthew 6:9-15 (ESV) Pray and so similar this:

"Our Father in sky,
hallowed be your proper name.
Your kingdom come,
your volition exist washed,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily breadstuff,
and forgive united states our debts,
    as we also accept forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver united states from evil.

For if yous forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive yous, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither volition your Male parent forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:15-35 (ESV) | The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

"If your blood brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you lot and him alone. If he listens to y'all, you have gained your blood brother. Merely if he does not mind, have one or two others along with you, that every accuse may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to heed to them, tell information technology to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you lot as a Gentile and a taxation collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you lot demark on earth shall be jump in sky, and whatever yous loose on earth shall be loosed in sky. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on world about annihilation they ask, it volition exist done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, in that location am I amid them."

Then Peter came upward and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Every bit many every bit seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I exercise non say to yous seven times, simply 70-seven times.

"Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle, 1 was brought to him who owed him ten m talents. And since he could non pay, his principal ordered him to exist sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, 'Have patience with me, and I volition pay you everything.' And out of pity for him, the primary of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. But when that same retainer went out, he found one of his boyfriend servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, 'Pay what yous owe.' And then his fellow servant roughshod down and pleaded with him, 'Take patience with me, and I volition pay y'all.' He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. When his swain servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. Then his main summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked retainer! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you accept had mercy on your young man servant, as I had mercy on you?' And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. And then also my heavenly Father will do to every i of yous, if you do not forgive your brother from your centre."

A hard instruction, indeed, but necessary for us to sympathize that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the very heart and center of all of Scripture. Our hearts are wicked, stained past sin. By Grace our hearts have been made new and we've been fabricated alive in the spirit past the Holy Spirit of God, but we still have our fleshly hearts to fence with. It is something we must crucify in Christ daily. Repent, and be forgiven. Forgive others, and when you fail that, repent and be forgiven over again.

2 Corinthians 5:1-5 (ESV) | Our Heavenly Domicile

For we know that if the tent that is our earthly habitation is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly abode, if indeed past putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, beingness burdened—not that we would exist unclothed, but that nosotros would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared united states of america for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit every bit a guarantee.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (ESV)

From now on, therefore, we regard no one co-ordinate to the mankind. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the mankind, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled usa to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to exist sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might go the righteousness of God.

This is the healing of the Keen Doc, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Beware of Victim-Blaming

My wife and I are particularly sensitive to the flip-side of the synergistic coin. It's an ugly side that few are willing to discuss until they need to separate themselves from an individual, or defend themselves from having their false doctrine exposed. The flip-side of this money is where we find the words, "God did His Part, God is non a liar, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever… therefore if you didn't get your healing, or if you are withal burdened by your past, it's because you aren't doing your role". The night underbelly of this coin is repulsive and runs contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every false religion in the earth has law and works-righteousness. Christianity's money is unique and stands apart. Our coin has the Law of God on the one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other. The Law points to the Gospel, and the Gospel answers the Law. The Constabulary exposes our sin, the Gospel grants repentance and forgiveness from sin.

Conclusion

The song doesn't accept any Gospel in it. Disapproval was sure, but there is a real need that the song is attempting to accost, the need for healing, for forgiveness, and for hope. This song offers more than Constabulary for the pain to proceed, so information technology fails in its goal. What is needed is the Gospel of Grace, the Promise of Conservancy, the peace that passes all agreement… fifty-fifty when the emotions are wrecked.

Romans 16:24-27  (ESV) | Doxology

²⁵Now to him who is able to strengthen y'all according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, co-ordinate to the revelation of the mystery that was kept underground for long ages ²⁶but has at present been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring near the obedience of faith— ²⁷to the simply wise God be celebrity forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Amen.
In Christ Jesus,
Jorge
