His Heart Beats

His Heart Beats - Andrew Peterson

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
