1. Ev’ry newborn child, Ev’ry drop of rain, Ev’ry golden ray of sun, Each head of grain— All are gifts from God; They reveal his way. Miracles performed by him sustain us each day.
(CHORUS) So, what are we to do with a gift so rare But to love the One who gave it and show him we care. No matter what we do, We never can earn it. This gift is still a gift—The miracle of life.
2. Others may give up, Lose their will to try, Echoing the wife of Job: “Curse God and die.” We are not that way. Praise to God we give, Thanking him for ev’ry precious moment we live.
(CHORUS) So, what are we to do with a gift so rare But to love the ones around us and show them we care. No matter what we do, We never can earn it. This gift is still a gift—The miracle of life.
