The Greatest Miracle
By: Tamar Pedersen

A precious baby is born
A new star in the sky
Shepherds ask what it means
Choirs of angels reply

The wondrous miracles that day
Before the world were on display
But one we couldn't see,
Still cannot be denied

Chorus:
The greatest miracle of all
Is the one here in my heart.
He redeemed me from the fall
Just a baby in a stall

Of all the miracles that day
He changed my stony heart to clay
When he took me in his hands
And formed a God-made man.

Like a babe I'm reborn
He turned my darkness to day.
With the angels above
I will sing of his praise

And though I'm just a choir of one
I won't forget the things he's done.
Because of him I know I'll never be the same.

Chorus:
The greatest miracle of all
Is the one here in my heart.
He redeemed me from the fall
Just a baby in a stall

Of all the miracles that day
He changed my stony heart to clay
When he took me in his hands
And formed a God-made man.

(Repeat chorus & Key change)

I wasn't there two thousand years ago.
Somehow that baby reached through time, and healed my soul.

The Greatest Miracle - About

While reflecting on the Savior's birth, and the many miraculous events associated with it, I came to the realization that one of the greatest miracles of Christ's birth is the change that it caused in my heart, almost 2000 years later. Somehow the influence of that little baby has reached through time, right into my heart, and made me a different person.

This may not make much sense to one who has not experienced it, but once your heart has been touched by God, you will never be the same. There is no going back.

If you take a close look at the first and second verses, you will notice parallels:

Verse 1: Verse 2:
A precious baby is born Like a babe I'm reborn

A new star in the sky He turned my darkness to day

Shepards what it means With the angels above
Choirs of angels reply I will sing of his praise

The miracles then are just as real as the miracles now. Although the miracles today are more personal, and may not be seen by the entire world, the miracle that took place in my heart is one of the most important to me.
