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
