More than 12 years ago, an 11-year-old boy sat in Primary convinced that the hymn “The Miracle” had been written just for him.
In many ways, it had.
When Shawna Edwards, then a Primary music leader from Lehi, Utah, began composing the song, she wasn’t thinking of just one child. She was thinking of every child in her Primary.
Each month, the Primary children focused on a different gospel theme. In August, that theme was “Jesus is a God of miracles.” Edwards searched for a song that included that message but could not find one.
“There wasn’t a song out there that had that phrase in it,” Edwards said.
So she decided to write one herself.
Visit the Church News to learn more about how Edwards composed the hymn and introduced it to her ward’s Primary.
