Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart
Mark Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, heard a robin sing
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again
Keep repeating through again
"I love you, love you"
I still recall the thrill, guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again?
Keep repeating through again
"I love you, I do love you"
I still recall the thrill, I guess that I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

The lyrics describe the magical effect that the beloved has on the singer's heart, and how their presence produces a symphony of emotions within the singer. The metaphor of the strings of the heart being plucked like a musical instrument is used throughout the song to represent the intensity of the feelings experienced.
The opening lines of the song describe how the beloved's smile has a haunting quality that triggers a melody within the singer's heart. The use of the word “haunted” suggests that the singer's love is deep and all-consuming.

🏥What The Faith Is?❤️
The faith, is being convinced and ascertaining that, the visible wonders around us were created by an invisible wonderful GOD.
The faith, is knowing, believing, fearing, loving, trusting in and obeying the everlasting only wise Trinity GOD.
The faith, is sincerely confessing, repenting, and accepting JESUS as SAVIOR to escape from the devil’s sting of death.
The faith, is sheep following good shepherd, striving to enter in at the strait gate and walking in the paths of righteousness.
The faith, is believing the Word of GOD——the complete perfect Bible is unchangeable neither be added nor be diminished.
The faith, is after the HOLY SPIRIT but not after the flesh, has crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
The faith, is building solid work, not wood, hay, stubble that shall be burned but gold, silver, costly stones that shall abide.
The faith, is abiding in the true vine, so that the branches can be nourished everlastingly and bear abundant good fruit.
The faith, is sanctifying unto the LORD, shows forth the glories
of Him Who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
The faith, is looking for the Paradise, certainly knows that the Holy Righteous Faithful HEAVENLY FATHER is welcoming overcomers.
The faith, with whole life unshaken until the end of universe, joy in the GOD although fruitless of the olive and no herd in the stalls.

I am an alcoholic. Trying to knock this demon out. This song helps. Appreciate all the support for those who have conquered this evil....
Hey all my fellow brother and sisters.
Going for sober October 2023. I believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and he will guide me through this no matter what. Thank you all for your kind words…they’ve helped immensely.
Update:
I am 5 days sober. I can’t even begin to explain how good this feels, I feel like a teenager again…I’m going to do this. Will update back.

“ if you seen me , you have seen GOD “
that’s what Jesus said , dosent get any clearer than that.
Buddha didn’t say that , muhammed didn’t say that , neither did any other prophets or wise men.
“ I am the way the TRUTH , the life “
To deny the son is to deny god

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
This grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
@zombietow
I just played my new born son this for his first ever song.
Last year in October we lost our daughter.
And this felt so fitting for us.
Thank you for allowing me to feel all the emotions I do in one song.
I love you all.

SAM; never surrender to the evils of the world, I am a Catholic by birth and baptism, my church left me because it didn't have time for me.
Many, many years ago while I was recuperating in the military hospital in Kobe Japan the only man of faith who would see me was a Jewish Rabi by the name of
Capitan VICTOR M. SOLOMON.
I was defeated and alone, defeated by myself in my own mind.
Capitan Solomon gave me a brief history of his people; enslaved, tortured, and murdered for 5 thousand years but still persevering for their god and their beliefs.
Always remember that JESUS the SON OF GOD was a JEW, who was crucified for all humanity regardless of what we call ourselves now.
I am still a Christian, but I find it just a bit strange that it was 2 Jews who were there when I most needed them, one was a Rabi, the other died on the Cross For ME.
Rabi Solomon told me that we are only defeated when we surrender.
So; to quote RABI SOLOMON, "NEVER SURRENDER"!!!!

Greatest man in history
Had no servant, yet they
Called him master
Had no degree, yet they
Called teacher
Had no medicines ,yet they
Called him healer
He had no army's, yet kings
feared him, he won no military battles, yet he conquered the world
He committed no crime
Yet they crucified him
He was buried in tombs
Yet he lives today
His name is Jesus Christ

Hands down the best version of Amazing Grace. PBD
@milosevicc.ognjen
Dear, PBD.
I'm 20yo, currently on college, and I've gotten an opportunity to earn a decent amount of money while doing what I love the most - helping and leading people. Hopefully, I'll use the chance I've been given. I've learned a lot from you and it's already helping me and one day I will thank you in person. Until then, I wish that God gives you strength and courage for all the battles that will come.

PBD i like Your Great Personality 👍
@notmattified4882
PBD thank you for showing me this wonderful rendition of Amazing Grace. I hope to one day come to America and you've been an inspiration for me, may God Bless You!
@Teal_Seal
Came here after the Lewis Howe interview. Hymns often feel like sung testimonies, reminding me of God’s grace and compassion, providing hope in dark times. So encouraging & comforting! And the simplicity of a capella helps me focus on the words.
Thank you for recommending this 👍 —and for following the promptings to talk politics 😉
@thestreamreader
I came here because of you. Two weeks ago an inner voice said to me at the most random time walking up my stairs to build a relationship with god. Then I hit a youtube short that a millionaire said first build a relationship with good not 10 min later. I have started that and your interview with Lewis lead me here. He is putting things in my path to build that relationship.
@GingerVertican
How many are here after the Lewis Howes PBD interview? I was so incredibly touched by his interview. I had never heard of him before. I feel I’ve had a small life, teaching English as a second language, but not doing great things…just small things with all the greatness I have. After that interview, and hearing this song and seeing how 1 voice can reach 89 million souls, I know I have not done those small things in vain. For the audience of one ☝️ ❤
@shoutsofjoy9130
Just finished the interview. I agree. That was a touching interview. We need more people like PBD!
I'm sure you are touching more lives than you'll ever know. The world will always need good teachers. Blessings!🙏
@user-ii1oe2nb4c
I do not know you, but I know God does, & whatever He's bless you w/. I say I pray He will continue to keep you safe.. an every little part we have In GOD's Greatest plan for all that still believe in Him & why He came down from heaven to be born of woman, which was Mary to be that sacrifice for one in all time's for His children & be tempted by Satan, the Devil, little horn, for He has many title's just as our heavenly Father does.. will be kicked out of heaven down to earth by Michael the Ark Angel defacto soon , claiming to be Christ coming to rapture anyone who will listen to him.. ( KJV BIBLE- REV. 8:1-9 & 9:1-9 ) Don't go as you know he is the fake destroying angel & his fallen one's are those that are in those flying vehicle's as we know are UFO's. God Bless you. U'll be in my prayer's♥️
