VERSE 1
I shouldn’t be alive

One foot in the grave,
no hope to be saved
I shouldn’t be alive
VERSE 2
But I’m a miracle child,
defied every diagnosis
And as close as it came
I can stand here and say
“I’m a miracle child”
defied every diagnosis
And as close as it came
I can stand here and say
“I’m a miracle child”

Death where is your sting,
my savior’s word is fin - al
I am resurrected, blood protected
I am a miracle child
my savior’s word is fin - al
I am resurrected, blood protected
I am a miracle child

If you’re facing the odds,
if you think you’re beyond
His saving
There’s no life He can’t raise,

if you think you’re beyond
His saving
There’s no life He can’t raise,
no, your wounds aren’t too great
He’s a miracle God

‘Cause He shouldn’t be alive,

Three days in the grave,
but that stone rolled away
Yeah, our God is alive
His body was six feet under
Three days in the grave,
but that stone rolled away
Yeah, our God is alive

Miracle Child - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
"Miracle Child" by Brandon Lake is a powerful song that speaks to the transformative power of God's love and grace. It echoes the sentiment found in Ephesians 2:4-5, "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." The song and this verse both emphasize the miraculous nature of God's saving grace, which can bring us back from the brink of spiritual death and give us new life in Christ.
The lyrics, "I shouldn’t be alive, my future was six feet under... But I’m a miracle child, defied every diagnosis," resonate with the story of Lazarus in John 11:43-44. Lazarus, who was dead and buried, was brought back to life by Jesus, a testament to the miraculous power of God. This same power is at work in our lives today, transforming us from spiritual death to life, making us 'miracle children.'
The chorus, "Death where is your sting, my savior’s word is final. I am resurrected, blood protected. I am a miracle child," echoes 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?... But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." The song and this verse both celebrate the victory we have in Christ over death and sin. We are 'resurrected' and 'blood protected,' saved by the blood of Jesus and given new life.
The song's bridge, "You’re the living breathing God of glory. I’m a living breathing testimony. You’re the one who turns a dead-end story to a living breathing testimony," is a powerful affirmation of God's transformative power. It echoes Romans 8:11, "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you." We are living testimonies of God's power, our lives transformed from 'dead-end stories' to stories of hope and redemption.
As we reflect on the lyrics of "Miracle Child" and these corresponding Bible verses, let's ask ourselves: How have we experienced God's transformative power in our lives? How can we live as 'miracle children,' testifying to God's grace and love? Let's take time to ponder these questions, and in doing so, deepen our understanding of God's miraculous work in us.
