The Greatest Miracle
Lyrics & Music by Sam Powell © 2004
It was a sabbath day, down on the ground he lay
A lame man, hopin’ for healing
Jesus looked down at him
Filled with compassion he told him to stand
He walked away a brand new man
Jesus was far away when someone came to say
His good friend lay in his bed near death
Jesus allowed him to die
Just so the Father could be glorified
Many saw Lazarus raised unto life
We read of his awesome power
And we know in our hearts its real
And though we’re amazed at the signs he displayed
I still can’t help but feel
The greatest miracle wasn’t giving sight to the blind
Or making clean a leper’s skin or changing water into wine
You fed a multitude with hardly any food
But the greatest miracle was the one you performed in my life
Back when it all began, I was a godless man
I stood tall, proud of what I had achieved
One day I realized
God had another plan for my life
One that did not revolve around me
He reached with his awesome power
Even when my heart had been
So far away like a sheep gone astray
His love led me back to him
Oh Lord I know who I am
I call myself a Christian
But I’m really just a wretched man
And you Lord, in your perfect holiness
You still decide to live inside of me
Oh it has to be a miracle!
