Music Monday: "It's A Miracle!"

Last week I went to Goodwill, and one of the items I purchased was an old Amy Grant CD. When I was younger (Ok, 25 years ago) I loved listening to Amy Grant and had all of her albums on cassette tapes. I have gotten rid of almost all of my tapes, and haven't heard all of this particular CD in years. It's been kinda fun to listen to it again! One of my old favorites that I haven't heard in a while is this Easter song. I hope you enjoy it too!

AMY GRANT - "IT'S A MIRACLE" It must have happened sometime in the nightNo one saw the stone be rolled awayWhen the grave saw morning lightThe skeptics and friends all had to say
It's a miracle, it's a miracleIt's a miracle happened todayIt's a miracle, it's a miracleHe took the stone and He rolled it away
My soul is like a tomb in constant nightTill one day the stone was rolled awayThen my heart saw morning lightAnd no one alive can explain it away
It's a miracle, it's a miracleIt's a miracle happened todayIt's a miracle, it's a miracleHe took the stone and He rolled it away
Now, now won't you seeWhat I'm trying to say?If you believe, it could happen today
It's a miracle, it's a miracleIt's a miracle happened todayIt's a miracle, it's a miracleHe took the stone and He rolled it away
It's a miracle, what a miracleIt's a miracle happened todayIt's a miracle, what a miracleHe took the stone and He rolled it away
(It's a miracle)You know it's really a miracleA miracle, a miracle
(It's a miracle)You know it's really a miracleHe took the stone and He rolled it away
(It's a miracle)You know it's really a miracleA miracle, a miracle
(It's a miracle)You know it's really a miracleHe took the stone and He rolled it away

Mark 16:1-7 Jesus Has Risen

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. ² Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb ³ and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

⁴ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. ⁵ As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

⁶ “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

Luke 24: 1-12 Jesus Has Risen

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. ² They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. ⁵ In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ⁷ ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” ⁸ Then they remembered his words.

⁹ When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. ¹¹ But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. ¹² Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
