-and the one thing you taught me
Clearly to see-
Is that the miracle is in my soul. ..

I used to dream of heaven
As the home of the final down
If you were good you went to heaven
If you were bad you went to town
I used to see a heaven
As a snow-kingdom, cold as lead-
Sickly sweet angels were there to greet me
They put a bad number on my head
And I said

O Heaven, how you've changed me
Whoa
And the one thing you taught me
Clearly to see is that
The miracle is in my soul

I was a full-time sinner
And delighted to be known as one
What was the use in living goodness
When being bad was much more fun-

I had a soul on fire
I put the passions of the mind to shame
And all the time a voice had whispered
Girl, you're playing with the devil's game--
And I sang
O sweet Heaven
O sweet Heaven --(in my soul)
O it's a miracle--
The miracle is in my soul

--now I see--

Now I can see beginnings
And I believe in the poor man's wealth
The holy words rolled across the sky to say
Yes they rolled across the sky to say
O they rolled across the sky to say

You know you're not so bad yourself

O Heaven--how you've changed to me
Whoa
And the one thing you taught me
Clearly to see
Is that
The miracle is in my soul
