Miracle or Not (A Song for You)
Songs have always been special to me. They minister to me in ways few other things can. Especially when I am struggling. And also especially when they are well written. I came across this song the other day. I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you. I think it just might become a thing here on the blog. This whole sharing of songs I mean. I would be absolutely delighted if you share one back in the comments.
This song has become so special to me because I feel like it captures the journey and battle of a renewed mind so well. The constant choices we have to make, the begging, the screaming, the declaring, the affirming, the wondering. . . all of it. I hope it blesses you in YOUR journey as much as it has me in my mine.
How long will I have to hear the stories of how You were able
How long will I have to celebrate the miracle that's not my own
How long will I lift my voice and sing again that You are always good
When I'm feeling all this distance, I thought I never would
How long
As long as it takes for my heart to find its song
As long as it takes to know I'm still not alone
And at the end of the day
I'll stand right here and say
I know that You love me
Miracle or not
How long will I give myself before I give up waiting
How long will I have to hide behind the smile that says that I'm OK
How long will I hold on to the promises I thought I heard You speak
When every passing day just leaves me broken down and weak
As long as it takes for my heart to find its song
As long as it takes to know I'm still not alone
And at the end of the day
I'll stand right here and say
I know that You love me
Miracle or not
I will sing 'til my broken heart believes it
I'll declare it 'til I smell the smoke of faith
And with my hands held high, I'll scream it in the darkness
'Til hope is finally louder than the ache
As long as it takes for my heart to find its song
As long as it takes to know I'm still not alone
And at the end of the day
I'll stand right here and say
I know that You love me
