A Miracle
James Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life I've prayed for
Someone to love
Wondering if my prayers were heard up above

It was a miracle
A miracle
Heaven created a miracle
And sent me down an angel like you

When we met I knew it
Right from the start
You were meant for me
And we'd never part

It was a miracle
A miracle
Heaven created a miracle
And sent you down into my arms

I've never believed in miracles
Oh, but now I do
Because of you

You descended through those heavenly doors
I was blessed to find a love such as yours
It was a miracle
A miracle
Heaven created a miracle
And sent you down for me to love

It was a miracle
A miracle




Heaven created a miracle
And sent you down...

Overall Meaning

The song "A Miracle" by James Ray is a heartwarming love song that tells the story of a protagonist who had been searching for love all his life and his prayers were finally answered by God sending him an angelic partner. Throughout the song, the singer expresses his gratitude and admiration for this miracle, emphasizing that it was indeed a miracle sent by heaven.


The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song with its opening line, "All my life I've prayed for someone to love." The singer's longing for a life partner is portrayed as a recurrent and almost desperate hope that he had never given up on. It is clear that the singer has been praying for a long time and during this period, he had his doubts whether his pleas had been heard, hence the line "Wondering if my prayers were heard up above." Both lines suggest that the singer is a man of faith and that he believes in the power of prayer.


The second verse communicates the singer's realization when he meets his soulmate. He is certain that they are meant for each other and that this love is eternal. The song emphasizes the point with the repetition of the phrase "It was a miracle" and "Heaven created a miracle" in both verses and chorus. This repetition incites a feeling of spirituality and emphasizes that they were brought together by some cosmic force.


In summary, "A Miracle" is a simple love song with an emphasis on the belief that true love can only be found when heaven blesses it with a miracle. It highlights the importance of faith and the power of prayer in finding one's soulmate.
