For those of you who were able to participate in Pineyfest this past summer, you will remember the lovely owner of Lyrix, Tanya Dryman who treated us all like royalty! I've been so incredibly busy lately I hadn't been able to get up there for my Wednesday evening "songwriters fix" in several weeks. Last night I just said to heck with it and drove up. Tanya immediately came over to my table and gave me a huge hug...and told me what had happened to her. This lyric is the result...though I did take a bit of lyrical license with it. Still fresh ink...so any and all comments and suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Hugs,
Bobbie

Miracles Still Happen
© 2007 Lyrics by Bobbie Gallup ASCAP

Felt like it'd been a month of Sundays
Since I'd seen Tanya's face
She grabbed me and she hugged me
When I walked in her place… and she said
These long hours at the restaurant
Never quite enough sleep
Dropped a wheel off the pavement
One night the middle of last week

CHORUS:
But Miracles still happen
Around us everyday
Miracles still happen
Every time we pray

Tried to get back on the highway
Got t-boned by a semi's wheels
Felt like I was in slow motion
Thought.. so this is how death feels
But somehow as I was spinning
I saw you on your knees
And I heard you asking Jesus
To please watch over me

Now I know
CHORUS:
Miracles still happen
Around us everyday
Miracles still happen
Every time we pray

I said, "You know I do remember
One night in the middle of my prayers
Suddenly you were on my heart
Just like you were sitting there
I had no idea what you needed
Only that the need was strong
So I left the matter in His hands
To take care of what was wrong"

CHORUS: Repeat

She said that semi drove a mile
'Fore he could get that rig to stop
When he saw me get out of the car
He fell on the ground and sobbed

CHORUS: Repeat

BRIDGE:
Guess I'm still here for a reason
Though what it is I don't yet know
But in His time I'll know the answer
Just wasn’t quite my time to go

CHORUS: Repeat
