Emmylou Harris Strong Hand (just One Miracle) Lyrics

Strong Hand (just One Miracle) Lyrics

He was a tall man raised up from the fields out pickin' cotton

In a hard land where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten

But when he saw her all those bad times were forgotten

And he believed, he believed



She was the strong hand a good sister and a daughter

Lookin' for one man to love the way that her mama'd taught her

And when she saw him, she thanked God for what He'd brought her

She believed, she believed



It's a miracle how one soul finds another

Just one miracle is all it took my brother

For l have seen them as they walk this world together

And I believe, l believe



Oh it's a sad thing when one must leave the other

And fly up where the voice rings out with all the multitudes that gather

But for a short while down here no song ever sounded sweeter

And we believed, we believed



For it's a miracle how one soul finds another

Just one miracle is all it took my brother

And l will see them someday they'll walk again together

l believe, l believe, this l believe, l believe
