Product Description
This song
was written when heart transplants were fairly new and still in the news. The
song depicts the healing ministry of Jesus brought into modern times. Since
people like to put music into categories, the style could be roughly described
as being country/bluegrass/synth-driven/gospel pop, which might make it pretty
unique!
The song was first recorded by the Christian
rock group, Whitestone and later by the Sellwoods gospel group. Both versions can be found on Youtube.
The Great Healer words and music by David Kai ©1980
Ive had a heart transplant with a bit of a difference, it may seem rather odd
No scalpel, no surgeon, no anesthetic, just between me and God
And now a new life beats inside of me,
its more than mere words can describe
My heart keeps time to the rhythm of the Spirit inside
Well I went fishing for the truth to life, but I opened up a can of worms
False religions and philosophies, misleading me at every turn
Well I soon realized that knowledge is fine, but its really just a place to start
Cause you can change your mind but its God that has to change your heart
Chorus:
Yes, hes the great healer, in a world of pain and strife, hes the great healer, and he can mend a broken life
And though your hurts be too much to bear,
he can heal your wounds with loving care
And give you a new life that will never die
So if you feel that youve lost all your reason to live,
good and bad look the same
And youre walking around more dead than alive, life clotting up in your veins
Just end your confusion, accept a transfusion of love from the heavenly Lord
And to your surprise youll find that you have been restored Chorus:
Ive had a heart transplant with a bit of a difference...
