"Miracle Hymn"
Lyrics by Susan Boyle


On a Starry Night in Bethlehem,
A child was born to bring light to men,
And our faith waned, our eyes grew dim.
In a candle's light, we found hope again.

There are miracles all around,
Miracles yet to be found.
Hid in every heart is an answered prayer.
Like a candle's flame, hope will lead us there.

When the darkness comes, let the light shine through.
A spark of faith will ignite in you.
In a candle's glow, a virgin's womb,
In a simple prayer in the empty tomb.

There are miracles all around,
Miracles yet to be found.
Hid in every heart is an answered prayer.
Like a candle's flame, hope will lead us there.

When the light has dawned on Christmas Day,
We will lift one voice in endless praise.
When the light has dawned on Christmas Day,
We will say

There are miracles all around,
Miracles here to be found.
Hid in every heart is an answered prayer.
Like a candle's flame, hope will lead us there.

Here is a link to the song.

Rejoice in miracles
I recently heard Susan Boyle sing this beautiful hymn and wanted to share it. In spite of our current times, we have much for which to rejoice. Christmas is still coming and the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Christ is the greatest miracle that has ever happened. Jesus taught and led all of us to a better way of living. We who live in Vermont can appreciate that as a community most of us really take the suggestions of our medical folks and respect safety protocols. Miracles happen to all of us in small and big ways. A chance meeting of someone who becomes your best friend and life partner. For me, surviving a severely flooded river in Artic Alaska was clearly a miracle. One never knows when they will experience a miracle but will certainly rejoice when it happens. Stay tuned!
