The church office is closed this week. In place of the usual Pastor’s Corner, I offer these stirring lyrics from Andrew Peterson’s song, “His Heart Beats”:
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
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
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
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
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
Your Pastor in Christ,
