SDA Hymnal 111
It Took a Miracle
Words: John W. PetersonMusic: John W. PetersonTune: It Took a MiracleIrregular
1My Father is omnipotent,
And that you can't deny;
A God of might and miracles,
'Tis written in the sky.
RefrainIt took a miracle to put the stars in place,
It took a miracle to hang the world in space;
But when He saved my soul,
Cleansed and made me whole,
It took a miracle of love and grace!
2Though here His glory has been shown,
We still can't fully see
The wonders of His might,
His throne,
'Twill take eternity.
3The Bible tells us of His power
And wisdom all the way through,
And every little bird and flower
Are testimonies too.
