Miracle Maker

Miracle Maker, by Delirious:

I’m waiting here
For my life to change
When the waters stir
You can rearrange me
Just one touch is all I need
I’ve nothing much
But the wounds I feel
I’ve come to find the hand of the Miracle Man

Holy, you are holy
Who was and is and is to come
Holy, you are holy
Saviour Healer
I’m standing at the feet of the Miracle Maker

I’m holding on
With your life in mine
Living waters come
And you’ve rearranged me
Oh, you are holy, you are holy
Who was and is and is to come
Holy, you are holy
Saviour, Healer
I’m staring in the face of the Miracle Maker

(instrumental break)

You are holy, you are holy
Who was and is and is to come
Jesus, precious Jesus
Thank you, Saviour,
I’m walking in the shoes of my Miracle Maker

I’m standing with the faith of a miracle maker

This is one of the best all time songs ever written. It's best played alone in the car, with the volume up loud! And because it starts so quietly it's easy to put it on top volume. By the time the instrumental break comes I'm always singing at the top of my voice - but the volume is such that I can't hear myself sing. If the lyrics don't make you sing, the instrumental break will!

I progress from coming to find the hand of the miracle man. I'm standing at the feet of the Miracle Maker. I'm staring in the face of the Miracle Maker. And staring into his face, what can I do but fall down in worship - that's what the instrumental bit is for. And staring into his face will rearrange me. With the result that when I recover from the experience I am walking in the shoes of my Miracle Maker. He's the leader, I'm the follower. He's the teacher, I'm the disciple. He's the mentor, I'm the protege. What comes next? I'm standing with the faith of a miracle maker. That's the scary bit. I become a miracle maker. That's what God calls me to.

Do I get stuck looking for his hand? Or do I get restless and can't stand at his feet? Or can I not bear the heat of his holiness and fail to star in his face? Wow, the music! Or are his shoes an uncomfortable fit? Where is my faith?
