The video of Guy Penrod and Sarah Darling singing their song, “What I Know About Heaven” begins with a gentle piano melody. There is a calm and reassuring quality in the singers’ voices, the lyrics, and the music.
As the full band comes in behind him Guy Penrod’s rich voice is the first to be heard. When Sarah Darling joins in with lovely harmonies the sound could truly be called “angelic.”
The song lets us know that our loved ones are taken care of in Heaven, a place in this emotional ballad where there are streets that are paved with gold for each broken heart and each wounded soul.
The pain of losing a family member or a friend can be overwhelming. You miss their presence in your life and feel you have nowhere to turn in hopes of filling the void. There is a song that can help you heal that wound of grief. It is a beautiful and comforting song.
There is no need to be ashamed of your feelings. You can keep a box of tissues by your side, but the tears will not only be of sadness. This is a song of joy and the singers are telling you of the wonderful place where your loved one now dwells.
The video captured a live concert performance and you can sense the depth of the connection between the musicians and the audience. We wish we could pray our loved one back, but they are in a place of everlasting love and life and the lyrics ask: Why would I want to call one away from that?
