Miracles
Aaron Keyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You spoke into being all that ever has been
(You made the) Blind see, deaf hear, lame leap when You came near
You know how to save your people from their sin
Shadow went the wrong way and the sky went black (sun stood still) at mid-day
People went through the doorway and they were made perfectly whole
Water from a rock and bread from the sky, Bitter made sweet, dead made alive
Now I see, now I say that You must be The only King, only God, only One for me
So I sing and I say for eternity, Thank You for your love for me
Now I see, now I say that You must be The only King, only God, only One for me
So I sing and I say for eternity, Thank You for your love for me
Pile of bones brought life out of death, Put a spirit in a man with a holy breath
And yet You say Neither height nor depth, Can separate me from you
So, a sinner, I come to surrender all To a holy God who stooped down small
To die on a cross, such a miracle, I say hallelujah
I suppose that if all the other things You did were written down
The world itself could not contain the pages
So for all my days I
will sing and shout, The wonders of Your love that never fades
