The Souders' music would be best described as adult contemporary Christian, but there is much time and effort given toward the praise and worship genre, as well. They reside in Midlothian, Virginia, where they raise their four children.
Miracle
Michael and Angela Souders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A restless soul
I lost my sight
I lost control
A cry for hope
Could I be saved
You found a way
You found a way
Your miracle is burning bright in me
I was a slave, and now I'm free
I'm lifting high these broken chains
You always find a way
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
Impossible
The war was lost
Before Your blood
Before the cross
My shame no more
My curse no more
You made a way, yeah
You made a way oh oh oh oh
Your miracle is burning bright in me
I was a slave, and now I'm free
I'm lifting high these broken chains
You always find a way
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Your miracle is burning bright in me
I was a slave, and now I'm free
I'm lifting high these broken chains
You always find a way
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
The lyrics of Michael W. Smith's song "Miracle" speak about a person with a rebel heart and restless soul, who has lost their vision and control over their life. In despair and hopelessness, they cry for help, wondering if they could be saved. But then, the miracle happens - someone finds a way to guide them out of darkness and into the light. Now, free from their chains, they lift them high to celebrate the miracle that has transformed their life. This miracle, as the chorus repeats, is burning bright within them, and they realize that they are a miracle themselves.
The song continues to talk about the impossibility of their situation before the miracle. The war was lost, and they were without hope or redemption. But before the blood and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, they were given a second chance. Their shame and curse no longer define them, and they are now free to live the life that they were meant to live. The song ends with a reference to the famous hymn "Amazing Grace," highlighting the grace and mercy that has brought this miracle into their life.
"Miracle" is a powerful song about transformation and redemption. It speaks to anyone who has gone through a dark time and has come out the other side, filled with hope and gratitude for the miracle that has changed their life. The imagery of broken chains, lost souls, and burning miracles all combine to create a moving and emotional message that is sure to inspire and uplift listeners.
