I Believe In Miracles

Carlton C. Buck   &   John W. Peterson

Creation shows the power of God,
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.

            Chorus
            I believe in miracles, I've seen a soul set free,
            Miraculous the change in one Redeemed through Calvary;
            I've seen the lily push its way up through the stubborn sod;
            I believe in miracles, for I believe in God!


I cannot doubt the work of God,
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.


[chorus]
 
The love of God! O pow'r divine!
'Tis wonderful to see
The miracles that He has wrought
Should lead to Calvary.

God directs our days

God directs our days, our hours planned with care;
Some with golden rays, some with sorrow's stare.
He moves in ways ascendant, his purpose to effect:
His name declared resplendent, His children to perfect!

- D. Benning

What Wondrous Love!

What wondrous love: the Father's care
  Upon the lost world set His love—
Before all time, before despair,
  The lost He purposed for Above.
 
Chorus--
What Wondrous Love, that seeks the lost;
  What Wondrous Love that called to me.
He counted all and chose the cross:
  Triune His Love eternally!
 
What wondrous love: the Sov'reign Son
  Came humbled as a man to dwell;
On earth He lived til it was done—
  Our loving Lord Emmanuel.

[chorus]

What wondrous love: the Spirit came
  Frail souls to make alive and fill;
Now live, the dead—now walk, the lame—
  His purpose both to do and will;

[chorus]

What wondrous love: this triune Love,
  Sought us before we first loved Him,
Will bring us home to courts above—
  Made perfect without spot or sin!

[chorus]

- D. Benning

It Took a Miracle

    ~  John W. Peterson

(1) My Father is omnipotent,
And that you can't deny;
A God of might and miracles-
'Tis written in the sky.

     
CHORUS:

It 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!


     
(2) Though here His glory has been shown,
We still can't fully see
The wonders of His might, His throne-
'Twill take eternity.

[chorus]

(3) The Bible tells us of His power
And wisdom all way through,
And every little bird and flower
Are testimonies too.

[chorus]
