A few years ago, a friend of mine was telling me about enduring a quadruple-heart-bypass surgery. And the feeling of facing the unknown. He recounted his conversation with the surgeon prior to the operation in which he discovered an amazing truth.
The surgeon explained, “We’ll put you under, and then once we stop your heart…”
My friend interjected, “Stop my heart?! Is it easy to get it started again?”
“Yes,” the surgeon knowingly replied. “Your heart wants to beat! It’s hard to stop it!”
I happened to be meeting up with a wonderful songwriter, Benji Cowart, later that day to co-write a new song. As soon as we sat down, I shared this story with him, and we proceeded to write “Very Last Beat.”
I hope it encourages you to live the life you were made for, and to live it with everything you have!
