Big Daddy Weave is no stranger to southeastern North Carolina. We’ve had the joy of worshiping with them at many concerts alongside Life 90.5 listeners. But their story over the last couple of years has been filled with immense heartache. Bassist Jay Weaver passed away on January 2nd, 2022. While the loss was devastating for fans as well as the band, Mike Weaver found himself thankful for the hope he still had because of Jesus. That hope is what inspired their latest song, “Heaven Changes Everything.”
MIKE ON THE HOPE OF HEAVEN

I was at an all-time low after losing my father, my mother, and then my brother Jay, who played bass in Big Daddy Weave. Then the thought came to me, ‘What is it like for someone who doesn’t know about heaven?’ Because we have the hope of heaven, and because Jesus said heaven is right here inside of our hearts, it changes everything about the way we see life now and the way we see life in the future. I love that when I think about heaven, everything shifts and is put into perspective. I’m so thankful that heaven changes everything. What a beautiful gift. We hope that you’ll receive this message of hope and share it with friends and family.

“HEAVEN CHANGES EVERYTHING” LYRICS
These tears would just be tears fallin’ down my face
And this hurt would just be hurt with no healing on the way
Thank You, Jesus, Heaven changes everything
A goodbye would be goodbye with no “I’ll see you again”
And when a life is over, that would simply be the end
Thank You, Jesus, Heaven changes everything
In the light of eternity, I have this hope
You hold my heart and I’m never alone
One day, You’re comin’ back, one day, I’m comin’ home
Thank You, Jesus, Heaven changes everything
My questions would stay questions, no answers to be found
And all the times I’ve fallen, I’d still be there on the ground
Thank You, Jesus, oh
I can live for the day when my eyes will finally see
Every piece that was broken, restored and redeemed
Thank You, Jesus, Heaven changes everything
In the light of eternity, I have this hope
You hold my heart and I’m never alone
One day, You’re comin’ back, one day, I’m comin’ home
Thank You, Jesus, Heaven changes everything
The way that I love, the way that I live
The way I let go and choose to forgive
The peace in this pain, the hope in this grief
The beauty beyond this, I have to believe
I can’t see what You see, but I know that I know
This world’s where I am, but this world’s not my home
In the light of eternity, I have this hope
You hold my heart and I’m never alone
One day, You’re comin’ back, one day, I’m comin’ home
Thank You, Jesus, Heaven changes everything
Everything
Heaven changes everything
Everything
Heaven changes everything

I lost my dad in June of 2020 from Parkinson’s and then my mom in April of 2022 from congestive heart failure. My sister has brain cancer so I who knows how long she will live. I agree with you that I don’t know how people go through this life and then the death of their family members with out Christ. Thank you for talking about this. Both of my parents died in their home and I was so joyous when they died because I knew where they were going. I am thankful to know that I will see them again. Thank you for your music.
