about

- No Heart Beats Alone -

My friend Russ Ramsey had open heart surgery this past year. You may have read about it. He was telling me about all that he was learning about the heart and how it works. He was asking the doctor if it was hard to get the heart beating again once you stopped it. The doctor replied, "No, it's hard to get it to stop. It starts right up. The heart is made to beat. It wants to beat."

How powerful.

Two heart cells floating in a petri dish will, Russ told me, find each other and begin beating in time. No heart can beat alone.

Guitar at the end was my Les Paul through my new Tyler JT45. On some stage in some church somewhere between soundcheck and the show.

lyrics

No Heart Beats Alone

the heart is a precious thing
tender and strong and able to break
you've got to keep it safe

the heart is a sitting duck
beating and needing to love someone
who's going to fail

but let me give my heart away
don't let me try to keep it
cause no heart beats for just one soul
no heart beats for just one soul
we are heart and soul and flesh and bone
and no heart can beat alone

he'd had a fever for a couple weeks
the doctors said they had to cut him open
they hooked him up to a machine
they fixed and then they closed him

he gave me five sealed letters in case the worst arrived
and I was glad to give them back
sometimes I wish it was that easy, I'd just close my eyes
and wake with scars, healed at last

let me give my heart away
don't let me try to keep it
cause no heart beats for just one soul
no heart beats for just one soul
we are heart and soul and flesh and bone
and no heart can beat alone

she's been hurting for a long long time
built those walls just to survive
but the earth keeps shifting and the cracks are clear
oh, what beauty lies beneath the fear
oh, what beauty lies beyond the fear

let us give our hearts away
don't let us try to keep them
cause no heart beats for just one soul
no heart beats for just one soul
we are heart and soul and flesh and bone
and no heart beat alone

I am liking what I have heard! We are looking for solid gospel songs for our church in Phoenix,AZ. I sing part time with the worship team. Our pastor and friend has asked me to find more anointed songs than what we have been singing. Thank you for your album! God bless you! Leah Wood Leah Wood
