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 end it’s life.”

Chorus
Sometimes Miracles hide and God will wrap some blessing in disguise
You may have to wait this life time 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 barely hold inside
The first time they laid eyes on her, confirmed the doctor’s fears
But they held on to God’s promise ’cause they were sure they both could hear that

Chorus
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
And 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.

You see, to them it did not matter
Why some things in life take place
‘Cause they just knew the joy they felt
When they looked into her face they learned

Sometimes miracles hide
They said, “God has wrapped our blessing in disguise
We may have to wait this lifetime
To see the reasons with our eyes
We know sometimes miracles hide.

We’ve learned sometimes miracles hide.”
