Miracle Child
Newsboys' song 'Miracle Child' tells the story of a loved one who was lost in sin and despair, seemingly beyond hope, but God intervened and brought her back to life spiritually. The lyrics describe the shock and joy of witnessing a transformation from death to life, comparing it to a resurrection. The song emphasizes God's ability to reach even the most hopeless cases and bring them to faith. It reflects on the theme of redemption and the power of God's mercy to save those who have chosen the grave.
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
