Andrew Peterson | His Heart Beats (Audio Video)

[@off2chinawego]

Forty-five years of knowing Christ, and it never entered my mind to think of Christ's heart beginning to beat. This is why I trust Him. He''s a living God. This is one of the most edifying songs I've ever heard. It put me in awe of Jesus. And kudos to your backup band, they're terrific.

[@charmainebehee4590]

❤ Me too!! Bless you ❤

[@BibleApologist]

I play this song regularly. Jesus Christ is alive! Thank you!

[@travisfussell9546]

What an absolute masterpiece! Praise you Jesus! Happy Easter 2024!!

[@PaulDixon25]

"The blood that brought us peace with God is racing through his veins" Chills. What a wonderful lyric!

Thank you Lord for the gift of eternal life and treasures in heaven.

[@Doughamp]

I love this song! Hurrah King Jesus! He conquered death!

[@AbelPaulZachariah]

No one is as awesome as Christ Jesus. ❤❤❤

[@Matthew1028]

Yet another example of why AP's music has so much depth. The more you listen, the more things you pick up on. So many layers. Since I first heard this song, I knew that the opening percussion, and indeed the percussion throughout, was mimicking a heart beat. I recently watched a video explaining how to cover Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah badly. Something clicked and I jumped back to this song. What I didn't realize is the vocal melody is basically an EKG. It's flat for the first few stanzas with only a "small murmur" in rise for one line before falling down "flat" again.. Then the pre-chorus ramps up to a crescendo in "Crown Him the Lord of All". That's the first "lub" in the familiar lub-dub cardiac cycle. Then it slowly falls line by line in the chorus (that's the "dub") eventually landing on the same "flat" line again before moving to the next verse. Everything about this song musically screams "His Heart Beats!" Genius.

I’m sure you’re right: ECG in English, Echo Cardio Gram.

[@obamabinladen3031]

And that makes this even more beautiful

[@maryyexley1434]

Thank you for this insight!! It makes this song even more amazing!!! 🙏❤️🙏

[@greergardner7357]

Thanks for pointing this out!

[@TheCreepypro]

may our hearts Lord be like yours through the power of your spirit

[@liladiller]

I can't stop playing this song!! What a celebration of our Lord's Resurrection!!!

[@WLFFellowship]

"He took one breath and put death to death!" Hallelujah!

[@Chewy725]

Amen!!

[@zacharyashdown7286]

The blood that brought us peace with God is racing through his veins! Praise Jesus!!! Such a beautiful song!

[@willhyde9595]

Andrew is the best since Rich Mullins!

[@basileian]

I'd venture to say this is the best song AP has ever written. And that is definitely saying something!

[@rebeccaloyd1043]

I agree!

[@cariestephens1149]

Completely agree!!

[@dipstikproductions]

Yes!

[@sharestorm]

I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I typed them up. Let me know if I got it right: His heart beats His blood begins to flow Waking up what was dead A moment ago And His heart beats Now everything has changed Because the blood that brought 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 great 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 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 great 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 sown 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 great is your defeat I know, I know He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting Oh grave, how great is your defeat How great, how great is His victory I know, I know His heart beats His heart beats I know, I know His heart beats His heart beats

[@vgalie]

Thank you for typing out the lyrics!:)

[@judithlowrance8079]

sharestorm only one mistake I see “how grave is your defeat” you have “how great is your defeat”. You corrected the mistake the lyrics site has they put “as they look for the seeds the King has down” you correctly put “as they look for the seeds the King has sown”. Otherwise excellent job done.

[@amandalilly34]

Thank you so much for the lyrics!

[@charitytobby7176]

Helpful. Thank you!

[@ProundOfGaga]

You’re so lovely ❤️

[@marthajrogers9689]

Oh wow! My new favorite musician/lyricist/worshiper. I discovered IS He Worthy? when it popped up on KZbin. Your songs thrill my heart, as I am in Him and He is in me. Not just beautiful, also true worship. Thank you Andrew Peterson for sharing the gift of YOU!

[@hannah_the_writer]

Literally my favorite song by him! Always gets me teary eyed!🥰 The lyrics are so true and so powerful! The first like really got me hooked! "His heart beats."

[@brianburt58]

A great song, beautifully portraying our new life purchased by His blood and resurrection! "He took one breath, put death to death!! ❤❤

[@simonam7255]

Yeeesss

[@harajuka1barbz]

This song was recommended to me today and I am so glad for the recommendation. The song and lyrics of the song is indeed spirit filled. Thank you Mr. Andrew for blessing the body of Christ with your gift. I also thank God the giver of gifts.

[@randomsk8r91]

Happy Easter, everyone!

[@melodylynnewilliams]

My husband I love this song! When I got your CD in the mail Thursday, these words rang out in our little home with such power! Praise God! His heart beats! And it beats for us... the unworthy, yet the chosen.

[@simonam7255]

His ❤ beats! Still!

[@katherinebrubaker7788]

There needs to be an official lyric video for this so people can sing along!

[@PamJarding]

I love this song

[@lyonaumc7130]

Such good music! Our Awana Club loves to listen while sitting and waiting to start! Thank you for making this beautiful music and helping these kids learn about our Lord Jesus Christ!!

[@curtisfeese]

I love the various Scripture passages scattered throughout this song all through the lyrics.

[@ElLois55]

Love this song. Here are the words: His heart beats, His blood begins to flow Waking up what was dead a moment ago And His heart beats, now everything is changed 'Cause the blood that brought 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, O 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, O 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 sown To burst up from their graves I know, I know He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting, O grave? How grave is your defeat I know, I know He took one breath And put death to death Where is your sting, O grave? How grave is your defeat How great, how great is His victory I know, I know His heart beats I know, I know His heart beats His heart beats

[@davidjones1240]

He took one breath... and put death to death! What a beautiful reminder of how our Lord crushed our captor, the fear of death. Just add this to the long list of many wonderful poetic songs you've wrote Andrew.

[@modestfitness9519]

And all our other fears for that matter. Awesome song, Mr. Peterson!

[@lesliebrewster3506]

So very toughing and meaningful and onspirational

[@fionnolamorris94]

Beautiful, one of Andrew Peterson’s best. I also love, ‘Is He Worthy’.

[@mikerattee56]

praise God for this truth and your expression of it Andrew! Played it all day on Easter Sunday

[@tinanguyen9487]

Hallelujah! Praise God!

[@claral.7401]

Love this song! 💕

[@Chewy725]

I think I've already commented on another song off the album, but I'll say it again - just when I didn't think AP's music could get any better, it really has! Loving this song & He Is Worthy & also All Things Together. Fantastic album, really points you to the reality of Jesus' work & 2nd coming. Wish I had words to describe its impact on me already. Thank you Andrew & thank you Lord!

[@stephenshearer2989]

I love this song Andrew! I feel like the lyrics and glorious anthemic melody are reminding me to let my own heart beat. I know the lyrics are about Jesus, but we are His body, and we are brought to life as well. I have no idea how I missed out on your music before. I praise God for His role in placing "Be Kind to Yourself" on my KZbin list, and that song has blessed me so much. Andrew Peterson cd's are being added to my Amazon cart and you will be the star of my birthday box to me next month! On a more serious note. I had an emotionally broken father who was always angry, and it's always been hard to listen to male singing voices. Yet you have this fatherly love for your own children and it saturates every song with a love that heals my soul. Your music is a gift from God. Stephen

[@chrisbucher4502]

Praise to the LORD Jesus Christ, and GOD the Father for gifting his children to be a blessing to others! And I am thankful for those who choose to use their gifts to honor our LORD!

[@Silence3157]

Love this song! I really like the continual drum beat that sounds like a heart beating :)

[@caylianavl]

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31-39

[@horngal88]

This song gives me the chills, and this isn't even my preferred style of Christian music. Well done, Andrew! And thank you for the Wingfeathers!

[@megb19851]

It is a rare thing for me to find 1. new music that 2. I love! And I have just been introduced to not one, but TWO songs that I love. I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness that is so apparent in the lyrical depth and richness, the clever but tame artistry, the pleasingly intuitive melodies, and the fresh insight into timeless truth found in this song, as well as "Is He Worthy." I love the persistent Scriptural groundedness of many of the lines of this song, and I love the laser focus on the EXACT moment that Jesus took that first breath that conquered death! I could go on and on about what makes this a really great song, but I just appreciate what AP is doing here.

[@jillrager2066]

I would love our church choir to sing this for Easter, but can't find a choral arrangement anywhere. Any suggestions?

[@rcnelson]

I imagine it being sung by one person except for the chorus: Crown Him the Lord of Love, etc. Build up momentum, volume and depth by adding choir voices here. And his testimony "I know, I know" returns us back to the voice of one witness.

[@vijayavanisundaram7633]

They should put karaoke also

[@Christophercrispytwo]

As a gay Christian, I have shared this on my Facebook page. And I am not ashamed to say that.

[@fionnolamorris94]

May Jesus the Messiah and His Holy Spirit lead you into all truth (John 14:17). Every Christian has something to repent of because “all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standards” (Romans 3:23). We come to Him just as we are and He cleans us up for we are incapable of doing it for ourselves. Read God’s Word and ask Him to reveal to you your true identity in Christ, because the Holy Spirit who lives in born-again believers, is holy and will not co-habit with our sin, whether it is telling lies, unforgiveness, greed, murder, violence, angry outbursts or sexual immorality (anything other than faithful marriage between a man and a woman is sin). God loves us too much to leave us in our sin, especially after Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sin, so repent and be blessed!
