Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Seen a light divine Seen water turn to wine Seen healing hands and walking on the water I've knelt in churches But that was all just fruitless searches For something to believe in And I thought I'd seen it all [Chorus] But I never saw a miracle 'Til baby I found you I prayed I'd find my heaven Then all my prayers came true No, I never saw a miracle I was blind but now I see The miracle is the love you give to me Seen a flower bloom And a man walk on the moon But I never seemed to find sweet inspiration Seen the stars fall from the sky And heard a newborn baby cry And felt the warmth of human kindness 'Til the tears came to my eyes [Chorus] I've never been a winner And God knows I'm a sinner But I found my salvation in you Oh, I was lost until you found me Put your loving all around me Gave me back my faith And my strength to carry on And now, baby, I believe [Chorus]
