Our Best Miracles

Christ proved He’s God with each great miracle,
but those are just the miracles we can see,
His unseen signs are greater than the physical,
to heal a soul lasts for eternity.

Christ’s miracles indeed are wonderful,
but spiritual ones are wondrous as can be,
God knows that we admire the sensible,
but mending souls to save them is the key.

When my prayer heals a soul, it’s beautiful,
more than my body, I hope Christ cures me,
we’re glad they save lives at the hospital,
but we can save eternal lives for free.

How prayer saves souls, Lord, is a mystery,
help us do our best miracles spiritually.
