Does anyone know this line

There was a poem read at my Daddy's funeral a few years ago and I have not been able to locate the poem because I can only remember one line of the poem: AND THAT MIRACLE IS ME. I know I'm taking a long shot here but I had at least try and hope someone knew this line. I can't remember if the poem said anything about recovery or not, my daddy was sober for 26 years when he died. And the guy that read the poem said it was one of Daddy's favorites. Help me out if you can.

Thanks

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.....



To be there when the Savior,
Spoke with a great command;
And to witness in a wonder,
Of His wonder working hand;
No miracle has caught my eyes,
To cause my heart to see;
But by faith I'm led to realize,
There's a miracle in me.

And I have never seen the thousands fed,
Or the blind made to see;
I have never watched him raise the dead,
But I know when He lifted me;
It's a wonder right before my eyes,
Close enough to see;
In my heart is where this wonder lies,
There's a miracle in me.

If we have a faith that's measured,
By the smallest mustard seed;
All our mountains will be mastered,
By the Master of all our needs;
And if we have a child-like trust,
He said, He'll do the greatest things;
He will heal the sick, He will raise up the dead,
Be a miracle in me.

And I have never seen the thousands fed,
Or the blind made to see;
I have never watched him raise the dead,
But I know when He lifted me;
It's a wonder right before my eyes,
Close enough to see;
In my heart is where this wonder lies,
There's a miracle in me.

In my heart is where this wonder lies,
There's a miracle in me.
It's in me.

This might be it


I AM A MIRACLE

by

Rose C Taylor (1973)


And what am I

I am a Man

Born of the womb, to live my span

To pace and step and dream and plan

To sweat and toil and lend a hand

To seek and find and know and learn

To laugh and cry and love and yearn

To rise and fall and wince with pain

To reach the top and fall again



And as I do I know somewhere

That there is one who'll share my fear

And as I reach and take his hand

I come to know and understand

I am a Miracle - That's what I am



For who but Man can reach the moon

Explore the stars - compose a tune

Capture the mood of a setting sun

Give thanks to God when day is done



This much I know and I can tell

That through the years Time's taught me well

It's made me weak - it's made me strong

It's proved me right and found me wrong

It's showed me Heaven and offered me Hell

It's made me rage and scream and yell



Yes I've played Life's game as best as I can

But through it all I never ran

For win or lose I knew somehow

That He'd be there to soothe my brow

And as I reached and took His hand

I came to know and understand

I am a Miracle - That's what I am
