You Are a Miracle

The song "You Are a Miracle" celebrates the birth of my son Matthew and was a gift from a couple attending school with me . They were trained musicians and composed this original song. It included the lyrics below, plus the melody and chords in what is known as a lead sheet. I really liked it and soon added a guitar accompaniment. Click here to play it. Here are the complete lyrics:

Verse 1:

Tiny hands, tiny feet
Little nose and little ears.
Soft and pink, huggable,
To love and cherish through the years.

Chorus:

You are a miracle,
God’s loving design,
This little babe I hold,
I can’t believe you’re really mine.

Verse 2:

Watching you grow each day
In a world that you explore,
Reaching out to find yourself,
I will love you more and more.

Chorus

Instrumental Bridge

Verse 3:

I know there will come a day
When I’ll have to set you free,
But ‘til then, little one,
I’ll keep you safe right here with me.

Final Chorus:

You are a miracle,
God’s loving design,
This little babe I hold,
I can’t believer you’re really mine.
…
I’ll love you ‘til the end of time.
