I never heard your music until I was listening to ChRisTian music on you tube after my home are client was in intensive care on life support after having cardiac arrest in front of me. I was praying for him and l heard your song for the first time “tell your heart to beat again”. It was like a god send to hear such a song for the first time while my clients heart had stopped beating due to v fib in his heart. Through prayer and fasting he was able to come off life support and breathe without being hooked to oxygen . 8 weeks later his mind came back from oxygen deprivation. 2 plus years later he is still around with not one hospitalization or cardiac arrest. Praise god!

How sad. But what a remarkable faith in Jesus Christ.

I lost my husband less than 2 years ago after 41 years together. This song inspires me. Thank you.

Your songs have touched my heart and has helped me heal. I lost my husband of 19 years on 5/26/07 in a drowning accident. God has been with me through all of the storms. He is sitting in heaven watching over me. God bless.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband sweetie my heart goes out to you God bless

You know Danny sometimes we go through tough times but I can tell you God knows you love Him. You are anointed by God. Thank you Jesus!!!

So sorry. I understand the pain of losing someone who is so close. I lost my son last month (40) and I no longer am the same. It is unbearable and at times hard to breathe. God has given you a talent to reach out to people. I felt like the words to your song, "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" were for me. I'm sure there are many people who feel the same. Thank you.

I can't stop listening to this song,,despite the fact that my heart is Bleeding it's soothes it.Thanks Danny you are a warrior. Blessings

I'm a widow, too. My hubby's name was Danny, and he died of a heart attack when he was 37 years old. The autopsy showed he had a congenital heart defect that was never detected. SO sad, so sorry for you, Danny. I know how it is.

My cousin's son died in his sleep at 38 on the night before Mother's Day. I cry every time I hear your song, Let your Heart beat again. I will have my cousin listen, too. You are amazing, you are the new 'special lyricist!' All your songs are great!!!!!

What an inspiration you are! You suffered such a great loss and you turned that into a positive message through your music. God is good and we must accept His plan, even when we don't understand it sometimes.

God bless you brother for your wife is in eternity with the Lord..

I have to thank Danny Gokey, for standing up and writing songs about what he's been through. I have congenital heart disease like his wife, it's been almost 10 yrs since my last surgery and I pray I'll never need another one, but I learned the hard way 11 yrs ago that emotional pain makes physical pain look like a day at the beach, one of my very best friends who had a more severe and complicated form of CHD and other issues on top of that suddenly died, One day he was fine, less than 2 days later he was gone...and because I was also very young I had to carry that pain in silence. I lost contact with everyone else I knew who knew him and some nights I still cry myself to sleep. The song I Will Not Say Goodbye let me know that somebody out there does understand, and Tell Your Heart to Beat Again reminds me that I still have to get up in the morning and live life, because that's what my friend would want...

Wow amazing testimony. God bless you and sustain you

I posted on 'Tell your heart to beat again' which has broken my heart but carried me through my husband's NEAR death accident and embraced the idea of this song being about LIFE period; asking God to let him breathe again, to let us begin again.Danny, I'm so sorry and thank you for being one of those special people who are bearing their own hurt but willingly using that same hurt to empathize and help others...and I'm practicing this song on the piano for a 'welcome home/Praise the Lord/my husband is a miracle' party. We are 45 and will never take life for granted, Seriously he was medically not expected to survive and it's been a long journey. Thank you for bringing this song and message to the world.

So sad but a man of great faith

Wow, I am so moved. I feel like we kind of have a connection. My husband died from combination of heart disease, heart attack, and liver and kidneys shutting down. I thought he would come home. 1 month to the day that he went in the hospital to the day he died. So hard to let someone go when all you want to do is tell them to stay. Love sent, wrapped in a hug. I love love love this song and really needed it. Tracy Lynne

I seen this video in my suggestions... I have been on a big binge of his music. Seen it but ignored it... this was last week. One week later, my wife passes away... God led me to this man’s music and then this interview. I ignored it because I felt something behind it (intuition) so I didn’t want to put any bad “juju” on my life... but it was God preparing me for this moment. God works in mysterious ways... but the main thing is, God works. God is real and He works on our behalf, daily 🙏🏽💜😇

I want to let you know that your songs brings tears to my eyes, and now knowing the history of you and your wife that she will forever be your Guardian Angel looking down at you, and is so proud of you that words can not say. Your songs are such an in inspiration, and your voice can not but grace from God-I personally am doing through a lot and listening to you gives me hope and knowing to trust in God that he has a plan that we may not know why , but gets us hope to hang in for his plan, and not for ours. . Lastly, I know the important to take one day at time for that is all we are given. May God bless u always

I had congestive heart failure and relate to the terrifying heart arrhythmia. My heart has been shocked and I spent every year in the hospital 3 years in a row. Last year, I had a heart ablation to fix things. There are still minor hiccups. "Tell your heart to beat again" resonates with me. I never knew that his precious wife passed away. I'm so grateful that she encouraged him to audition. God is using Danny to bless so many. Love him more now.

Danny - I remember you from American Idol - but, not that your wife had passed away. I want to say that you make me want to be a better man. I have been going through some challenges - feeling depressed, challenges at work, etc. But, nothing like you've gone through - and, turned into such a blessing for so many. I need to quit whining, get up and make things happen with God's help. Thank you, brother. I'm a fan!!

Danny thanks for sharing your personal life story thanks for you music and going on with American Idol you r an inspiration for the world if they would give this story and your music a listen. thanks again

Saddened by your loss. Your song Tell your heart to beat again was used to heal my heart after the loss of my tow children in 2014. I didnt realize till I heard it that I needed to decide to live again. Your loss has lead to help for so many experiencing death of a loved one.

Beautiful testimony. The love & strength of Christ is all over him. Continued Blessings Danny.

Your songs are full of life and your testimony full of encouragement. Thank you for visiting us in San Quentin Danny God bless you my brother in Christ

Thanks for sharing your wife's story. Thanks for sharing your music with us.

I am grateful to your songs Danny they have really really helped me when I lost my husband June 2021 almost every day I played tell your heart to beat again and under t these 2 songs ministered to me in a very special way God bless you Danny. Thanks.

He is such a stand up guy. Wherever you are Danny, I hope you're happy and hopeful about your future. You have a great voice.

I can relate. My beautiful wife went to the Lord, and He confirmed this with a sign. Great is our God !

No wonder why his songs touch my soul. My wife passed away 2 months ago, I feel his lyrics.

So sorry for your loss, I have been in those same shoes it does just plain hurts the heart, but eight years later it doesn't sting as bad. God bless you!

My plan is to treat heart abnormalities in unborn babies and become a cardiovascular surgeon. My fight to finish schooling will be an honoring of your wife. Blessings and healing sent to u and your family.

I love this song I never knew it was because of his wife died from heart disease. I am suffering from CHF and had a heart surgery and now have a pacemaker/defibrillator and I pray they find a cure for anyone's Illness or sufferings.

Danny Gokey you are a blessing to the world with all your beautiful songs and your voice. Your songs are so touching. May God bless you and be with you always.

Kind of started listening to your songs n came across this one. I can identify with you...lost my mom 2yrs ago..best friend ì ever had. I guess God gave us emotions to help us use them to regulate our ups n downs in life. Ultimately He's in control n He will hv the answers when we meet Him. He is good.

Lost my wife unexpectedly on December 23rd 2015 to a pulmonary embolism. Chris was 41. When I heard I Will Not Say Good Bye. It body slammed me because it's says exactly what I think and feel. Love you Danny. I know your pain but, I also know you will see Sofia again just as I will see Chris again. God is faithful and His Word is truth. ✝️

Wow! I missed this one. My wife watched the American idol show. Danny you are a most talented musician and singer. God has certainly Blessed you with a wonderful voice. I sing myself but you have that Charisma to captivate an audience. I love the video "I Will Not Say Goodbye!"

Hey Dani, I do not know if you’ll see this, but is fine. You have inspired so many people like me, you did not let the death of your wife make you better. Instead you let god is it for his glory. Thank you so much for your songs, like tell your heart to beat again. And hope in front of me. It is help me get through so many rough and tough times, I struggle with an eyesight called ourPE. So it can be hard for me to see things at times. But your songs showed me, that I have perfect vision in my face. Continue to do what you do, because you are blessing so many people with your voice and your talents. God has gifted in anointed you. Keep it up and God bless.

Oh wow... My heart just fell into my gut.... I'll pray for you. I know she's looking down from heaven sooooo proud of you... You are such an amazing person I'm tearing up.. you definitely show what she stood for. God bless 💚

I lost my husband of almost 34 years to cardiac arrest. The pain is still so raw and it will be 6 years. This song really touches my soul. May their souls rest in peace.

Death comes 2 us all yet we're never prepared 4 it, esp when it tks us by surprise. Sorry 4 ur loss Danny. Somethin good came out of it though. Ur beautiful gifted voice. Im sure ur wife is smilin from above alongside our Savior. Keep sharin those talents God gave 2 u. GOD BLESS!!!

Your first wife holds a special place in my heart . My daughter Breanna who is all over my fv page which u liked once when I listed your video. Her name is Breanna Huffman had a grade five aortic stenosis at birth her first surgery at nine two babies later and a second emergency valve replacement at 22 she is now doing great. I feel for you because as a mom I've been through it. Once during her first pregnancy she went.into v tac and.almost died.right in front of me at six months pregnant. You are so brave .I know.Your wife is in heaven smiling down.on you.

This song was instrumental in my recovery from my dad’s death. This song reminded me of it is OK for me to keep living even though my dad was gone. But I still had work to do for God and that was OK for me to let my heart beat again. That’s really reassuring and comforting and really, honestly truly, put me through the single most worst. Period

I feel really bad for him. He seems like a good person and when I watch this video it brought me to tears. This is a really sad video.

I love how he explains how he got up to do things. Just because your doings things doesn’t mean you don’t care or. It hurts all the time but somehow we keep on moving.

Danny- I can't explain why you do it Or how you do it. But you did it!!! Your songs hit home for me.my girlfriend of 10 years had metastatic breast cancer. Lost her 3 years ago and my dad 1.5 years ago

I'm so sorry for the loss of Danny's wife he's amazing man I pray that God continue to strengthen and comfort him

Lynelle Murray Danny has done so much for Christ Since this time... lead many unbelievers to the Lord though his testimony and his music... The Lord has a plan. This is the reminder I needed to trust His plan for my life.

I'm very sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences...

losing your life partner is the most traumatic emotional and physical experience we as humans can endure...I can relate to him because I lost my love of 27 years in similar circumstances

Inlost my husband to an "enexpectedly expected heart attack. I absolutely hear what you're saying about the ups and downs of emotions. It's been 3cyears and 7 months and my emotions have leveled up but I still miss him. Even if I marry again there still is that one place that only he has.

So very sorry. She has gone home to the Lord and you miss her so much. But thru your pain and loss you are helping us, helping others who can relate but who need to hear words with spiritual strength. God Bless.

Bless you! What a testimony you have here! Your unfailing trust & faith in our dear Lord Jesus Christ. Much love & blessings! ❤🤍🩷💜💙

To all of you out there who lost a loved one Thanks for hanging on and Trusting in God. You give us hope. God bless you and strengthen you. I lost my Grandpa to Alzheimer's and my Cousin to OD 2 years ago.....it was a shock.....God is good though all the time....it hurts still but God is here and knows what he's doing.

I Love his new song it makes me cry cause all i can think of is my Fiancee that got killed Aug 2008...God Bless his wife, her memory and their whole family

IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE AFTER MANY LOSES IN MY LIFE, THIS SONG IS A GOD GIVEN INSPIRATION TO ME AND I AM SURE TO MANY MORE CHRISTIANS.

I hope this is the only time that Danny would tell this story ever. HE is sooo sad when trying to remembering all.. man! Danny you are awesome!

We love you, Bro. God is using you in all the ways I wish to be used. Keep up the fight

The congenital defect surgery Sophia passed away from sounds very similar to the second heart surgery i had 11 years ago to repair a defect. Wow, from now on when I hear his song "Tell Your Heart To Beat Again", it will be like listening to a song i never heard. I will never hear those lyrics the same again. He is an amazing man for allowing God to use his pain on such a grand scale (& so soon after his wife died from open heart surgery) to comfort others.

Danny, I'm alive by the grace of God. Three years ago I had a stroke, this last October I got a phone call from the VA Hospital telling me that I had tested positive for lymphoma cancer. Then after my 1st round of chemo I had a blood bacteria. I got an IV every 4 hours for 2 weeks, a total of 84 units of medication to take care of my blood bacteria. The day after I got the phone call I 1) met with the cancer dr at the VA, 2) had a bone marrow biopsy 3) was admitted to the Hospital. The next 3 days after that I had my first 3 chemotherapys, then 1 day the next week I had my 4th and final chemo of that round. My dr. at the VA gave me a 50/50 chance of getting my cancer to remission. My lymphoma cancer had surrounded my right kidney and was as they say choking my right kidney to death. It had cut off the tube from my right kidney to my bladder and my right kidney was getting larger because of that. So a different Hospital put in a tube from my right kidney to my bladder, and another tube from my right kidney out my back to a bag that I had to empty when it filled up or to empty it whenever I wanted to. I got that tube to empty my right kidney. But I'm still alive by the grace of God. Something should have killed me by now. But praise God I'm still alive.

Danny is an amazing singer and a wonderful man. I admire his strength to have lost a young wife and of course he is also so young. The guy has guts to have appeared on Americal Idol having to deal with all he had to deal with.

that was really sad, but im glad he has the strength to share his story and give us all hope.

Im so sorry Danny. Through your music you have helped me to Hope again in the precious blood of Jesus. Thank you so much for sharing your pain. The love of my life also died almost 2 years ago on Oct 8th 2016. It did not happen right away but the all consuming pain from Daves death and the inability to change the fact that he's not here anymore brought me back to God and a new freedom I have never known before from complete surrender and TRUST in Him. First I had to get over blaming God for taking Dave. I've always known that I know with no doubt that there is a God that loves me in a way I can explain and is always calling me even when I don't want him to. I've never been able to get away from him if I tried. So at almost 51 I free fall into the love of Christ. I have just decided that I do not understand the mind of God and I'm not going to try to anymore. The only thing in this life I'm sure of is God's love for me. I've been through a whole lot in my life but nothing ever affected me the way that Daves death did. Amanda's and hurt. I'm not glad that Daves dead that's for sure but today I'm happier in Christ than I have ever been and I know I'll see Dave again one day in heaven. Thank you Jesus for never giving up on me and thank you Danny for your music❤❤❤

I'm really sorry. Be strong and God bless you

His wife is looking down as well as Jesus saying how proud they must be to have the chance to sing so beauful and touch so many hearts. So sorry for your loss. Thank you Danny Gorkey and thank you Jesus

oh my goodness, this is amazing. One reason Danny is fine to openly talk about this is because since he is very religious, he knows that Sophia is in heaven with God. He is so strong and he is truly blessed. It may not seem that way, but from everything thats come out of it, man, he is suck an inspiration to me. GOD BLESS YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO DANNY!!!!

Here is a scripture to keep you going. It is one of my favorites. Psalm chapter 1 verse one, Blessed is the man Who does not step in the wicked, or stand in the path that siners take. Are sit in the company of mockers but who finds his delight in the law of the Lord. And who meditates on his Word day and night. I would like to say a prayer for you. Dear have only father, I pray that you will continue to bless Dani. Bust him in everything he does, may your Holy Spirit protect him forever he goes. Bless the people who took their time to write a comment for him, and bless Dani and his future’s and in all of his songwriting. Thanks again for all of your good work. Continue to keep a heart of God and God bless.

Love the song. Your story is heart felt.

Thanks for Sharing. God Bless You!

It's so sad to lose his wife. Makes me wonder what good God brought out something this bad. I ask this question about anything bad that happens really. God brings good out of bad, it's sad that some people don't have an open mind to consider the possibilities. For example, the result of his loss which led to this theme called "hope" like in his latest song, could have given just that to someone listening to K-Love on the radio. I remember hearing the inspirational story of the day on K-Love. One guy wanted to commit suicide on the highway, as he waited for a car, he overheard one of the songs playing on K-Love from his car parked by the side of the road, broke down in tears, and stopped his suicide.

+The1Music2MyEars There's actually a video of his testimony where he explains how God has worked through this loss and created something greater. Danny's wife wanted him to try out for American Idol. He did. While on the show, he shared about losing her. This help so may other people that were also dealing with loss. His success from the show and from a book he wrote has also enables him to open a charity in her name that helps the homeless.

I just now found this video and heard the whole story about his wife. Danny I am so sorry for your lost. She is in heaven now and in some way she is still with you.

Wow that is a sad story! God bless him!

My mom passed away on July 9, 2005. It's a hard day for me too. I don't know what I'd do without the hope I have in Jesus Christ!

So sad brother but God is with you.
