Hi Dr. Laura,
After hearing your thoughts regarding time not healing all wounds, I thought you would really appreciate the song lyrics below. The story behind the song is also amazing.
Here's the story behind the song, explained by Gokey:
"There was a pastor in Ohio who had a heart surgeon who went to his church. One of the things that this pastor wanted to do was see a heart surgery take place. When the day of the surgery came, they rolled the patient in and began to cut her chest cavity open. They took her heart out and they began to repair it. One of the things that they do is they have to restart the heart before they close the chest cavity. And when they began the procedures to start the heart, the heart wouldn't start. "Finally, the doctor did something so out of textbook and not written down. It was something you really don't do. He knelt down on his knees and said, 'Mrs. Johnson, this is your doctor. We have fixed your heart. We have repaired it. There is nothing wrong with your heart. Mrs. Johnson if you can hear me, I need you to tell your heart to beat again.' And her heart began to beat again."
Tell Your Heart To Beat Again
by Danny Gokey
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
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
