Maverick City Music + Majesty Rose + Bri Babineaux - Love is A Miracle Lyrics
Lyrics
I was down in the valley
Before love came and grabbed me
Never thought id see the sun again
Without no hesitation
You became my resurrection
All the light came shining in
Now I’ve got beauty for ashes
And I’ve got joy for mourning
And I’ve got praise for heaviness
Love is a miracle
This is more than religion
Glad I’ve made my decision
Hope reversed the curse I was walking in
Now I'm dancing out my grave clothes
Where you lead me I will follow
You gave a light that the darkness can’t comprehend
Now I’ve got beauty for ashes
And I’ve got joy for mourning
And I’ve got praise for heaviness
I remember the voice that called me
I remember when my heart said yes
I will never forget that morning
You were singing over me
Now I’ve got beauty for ashes
And I’ve got joy for mourning
And I’ve got praise for heaviness
Love is a miracle
Now I’ve got mercies in the morning
And I’ve got rivers overflowing
And I’ve got freedom and I’m dancing
Love is a miracle

Love is a Miracle (feat. Majesty Rose & Bri Babineaux) | Maverick City Music | TRIBL
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 17, 2020, as part of their album *Maverick City Music, Vol. 3: Pt. 1*, "Love is A Miracle" featuring Majesty Rose and Bri Babineaux is a profound declaration of divine redemption and transformation. The song immediately immerses the listener in a deeply personal narrative, tracing a journey from utter despair to radiant hope, attributing this radical shift entirely to an intervening, miraculous love. It opens with the poignant imagery of being "down in the valley," a place of profound brokenness where the expectation of ever seeing light again had vanished. This resonates powerfully with the spiritual wilderness often described in Scripture, a time of isolation and sorrow, much like the "valley of the shadow of death" depicted in Psalm 23:4, where only God's presence offers solace.
The turning point arrives abruptly and beautifully, as this divine love "grabbed" the narrator, becoming their "resurrection" and flooding their life with light. This immediate association of love with resurrection explicitly points to the transformative power of Jesus Christ, who is not only "the light of the world" (John 8:12) but also the ultimate source of new life, conquering death and despair (Romans 6:4). The core message crystallizes in the powerful chorus, a direct and unmistakable echo of Isaiah 61:3: "Now I’ve got beauty for ashes / And I’ve got joy for mourning / And I’ve got praise for heaviness." This prophetic verse speaks of God's sovereign ability to exchange sorrow for celebration, desolation for adornment, and despair for devoted worship. The song then concludes this declaration with its titular affirmation: "Love is a miracle." This isn't a mere sentiment but a testament to an experience that defies human explanation, a supernatural intervention.
Further into the narrative, the song distinguishes this experience as "more than religion," emphasizing a deeply personal relationship and a conscious "decision" to embrace this love. This distinction highlights a living, breathing faith that transcends ritual or tradition, aligning with Jeremiah 31:33 where God promises to write His laws upon the hearts and minds of His people, forging an intimate covenant. The impact of this decision is described as "Hope reversed the curse I was walking in," pointing to the liberation from the bondage of sin and its consequences. This freedom echoes the New Testament's promise in Romans 8:1-2, where it declares that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death," and Galatians 3:13, where Christ redeems us from the curse of the law. The vivid image of "dancing out my grave clothes" symbolizes resurrection and new life, much like Lazarus being called forth from the tomb, shedding his burial cloths (John 11:44). It’s a powerful metaphor for shedding the old self and embracing the vibrant, unburdened life found in Christ. The statement, "You gave a light that the darkness can’t comprehend," is a direct scriptural affirmation, echoing John 1:5, which assures us that "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it," underscoring the invincible nature of divine truth and presence.
The bridge serves as a moment of profound reflection and gratitude, recalling the precise moment of spiritual awakening: "I remember the voice that called me / I remember when my heart said yes / I will never forget that morning / You were singing over me." This speaks to the intensely personal invitation from God (Romans 8:30), the willing surrender of the heart, and an awareness of God's intimate, joyful presence, perhaps even reminiscent of Zephaniah 3:17, where the Lord rejoices over His people with singing. It grounds the miraculous transformation in a specific, cherished memory.
The song culminates by expanding on the ongoing blessings flowing from this miraculous love. "Now I’ve got mercies in the morning" directly quotes Lamentations 3:22-23, testifying to God's steadfast love and new mercies arriving with each new day. "And I’ve got rivers overflowing" evokes the abundant, life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit, as prophesied in John 7:38: "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’" Finally, "And I’ve got freedom and I’m dancing" encapsulates the joy, liberation, and uninhibited worship that naturally spring from a life transformed by divine grace, as affirmed in Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." "Love is A Miracle" is not merely a song; it's a powerful sermon, an anthem of hope, and a deeply scriptural testament to the unparalleled, life-altering power of God's love, inviting all to experience this profound transformation.
