Folk version featuring Dan & Gene
A remake and remaster of a Single Heart album cut from "Help Wanted; Inquire Within" (1995)... You've heard of "Jan and Dean" well this is "Dan and Gene"!...this is the only recorded album song of just Dan and Gene doing all the vocals.
If I could write a song that would touch the lives of men
And with a melody make them pure an whole again
I'd compose a symphony as grand as my thoughts could explore
And play it on the heartstrings of a world that needs the Lord
But if I could write a sonnet that contained the sweetest rhyme
Still it would not be sufficient to change a single life
For the words men though lofty have never saved a soul
Or played upon the heartstrings of a world that needs the Lord
The song's already written and the words have all been said
From an empty tomb He sang them when He rose up from the dead
Now the Spirit breathes a melody that only hearts can hear
A song of love and victory that will open deafened ears
To a symphony so priceless only heaven could afford
It's played upon the heartstrings of a world that needs the Lord
He gently plays upon the heartstrings of a world that needs the Lord
