Song 130

The Miracle of Life

Alternate presentation available

1. Ev’ry newborn child, Ev’ry drop of rain,

Ev’ry golden ray of sun, Each head of grain—

All are gifts from God; They reveal his way.

Miracles performed by him sustain us each day.

(CHORUS)

So, what are we to do with a gift so rare

But to love the One who gave it and show him we care.

No matter what we do, We never can earn it.

This gift is still a gift—The miracle of life.

2. Others may give up, Lose their will to try,

Echoing the wife of Job: “Curse God and die.”

We are not that way. Praise to God we give,

Thanking him for ev’ry precious moment we live.

(CHORUS)

So, what are we to do with a gift so rare

But to love the ones around us and show them we care.

No matter what we do, We never can earn it.

This gift is still a gift—The miracle of life.
