A man and wife had prayed for years for children Were losing faith and close to giving up Then a young girl with no way to keep her baby Laid in their arms a tiny gift of love It only takes one life to make a miracle One tiny ray of hope to light up the dark It only takes one life to make a miracle One honest prayer coming from the heart A small coal mining town in west virginia Prayed as they kept vigil day and night Saddened by the twelve who lives were taken But also thankful one made it out alive It only takes one life to make a miracle One tiny ray of hope to light up the dark It only takes one life to make a miracle One honest prayer coming from the heart Two thousand years ago the world lay waiting For the savior they were told would come Then on that winter night there in a manger God blessed the world with his one and only son It only takes one life to make a miracle One tiny ray of hope to light up the dark It only takes one life to make a miracle One honest prayer coming from the heart It takes one honest prayer coming from your heart
