Sometimes Miracles Hide by Bruce Carroll
They were so excited it was coming to be
Two people so in love, now soon there would be three
For many years they'd planned it
Now it would soon be true
She was picking out the pink clothes
He was looking at the blue
The call came unexpected
The doctor had bad news
Some tests came back and things weren't right
He said, You're going to have to choose
I'll wait a week for your decision
Then the words cut like a knife
I'm sure everyone will understand
If you want to take its life
Though they were badly shaken
They just had no choice
They knew God creates no accidents
And they were sure they had His voice saying
Sometimes miracles hide
God will wrap some blessings in disguise
You may have to wait a lifetime
To see the reasons with your eyes
'Cause sometimes miracles hide
It seemed before they knew it
The appointed day arrived
With eager apprehension
They could hardly hold inside
The first time they laid eyes on her
Confirmed the doctor's fears
But they held on to God's promises
'Cause they were sure they both could hear
Sometimes miracles hide
God will wrap some blessings in disguise
You may have to wait a lifetime
To see the reasons with your eyes
'Cause sometimes miracles hide
Though she was not like the other girls
They thought she was the best
And through all the years of struggle
Neither whispered one regret
On the first day that she started school
And took her first bus ride
They remembered the words that God had spoke
And they both broke down and cried
See, to them it did not matter
Why some things in life take place
They just knew the joy they felt
When they looked into her face
Sometimes miracles hide
They say, "God has wrapped our blessing in disguise
We may have to wait this lifetime
To see the reasons with our eyes
But we know sometimes miracles hide"
