Miracle child

When you got there I was sure you'd come too late We all pay you lip service Then address our prayers to fate Sister gone She tripped and fell A prodigal hell And do I dare believe you'll reach Such a long lost cause Wrapped in gauze As good as dead She's breathing... My Lord She's a miracle child I know She's a miracle child And I saw How she'd chosen the grave My Lord It's a miracle save When she woke up We were dumbstruck at the sight Like coming out of a coma All she asked for was more light Fluttering eyes Life from a tomb You flooded her room With a fearsome mercy Torn from the devil's grip From the clutches of fear I can hear her dead heart beating My Lord She's a miracle child I know She's a miracle child And I saw How she'd chosen the grave My Lord It's a miracle save We lose hope We mumble our prayers We seal off the stairs And never dare believe your reach Can pass through stone Can lead a child home Can make the dead start blinking
