Forgiveness Is a Miracle (A Song for Joseph) / Man of Mercy - Jason Gray

Love can make a soul come alive

Love can draw a dream out of the darkness

And blow every door open wide

But love can leave you brokenhearted

Did she dare to look you in the eye

Did her betrayal leave you raging?

Did you let her see you cry

When she said the child was not your baby?

Pain can turn to anger then to vengeance

It happens time and again

Even in the best of men

It takes a miracle to save us

When love is like an open wound

There’s no way to stop the bleeding

Did you lose sleep over what to do?

Between what’s just and what brings healing

Pain can be a road to find compassion

When we don’t understand

And bring a better end

It takes a miracle to show us

Forgiveness is a miracle

A miracle

And a miracle can change your world

Forgiveness is a miracle

An angel in a dream spoke into your darkest night

So you trusted in the Lord and you took her as your wife

But the forgiveness that you gave would be given back to you

Because you carried in your heart what she was holding in her womb

Love was in a crowded barn

There you were beside her kneeling

You held it in your arms

As the miracle started breathing

Forgiveness is the miracle

The miracle

And a miracle will change your world

Forgiveness is the miracle

Forgiveness is the miracle

The miracle

And a miracle will save the world

Forgiveness is the miracle

Blessed Joseph, your heart is proven

And through you the Kingdom has come

For God delights in a man of mercy

And has found an earthly father for his son
