- Trapped
in the bowels of the earth, no way out
- Rescue
heroes worked through night and day
- While we
all prayed, Lord please bring them up alive
- Save them
from an untimely grave
-
- Hungry
and cold, but determined and bold
- In their
spirits they vowed friend to friend
- Whatever
their fate they would face it together
- Through
black night of fear, lose or win
-
- Loved
ones were anxiously waiting above
- Their
reasons to keep hanging on
- We can
only imagine the hell they endured
- But their
faith seemed to keep them all strong
-
- When time
and hope seemed to be slipping away
- No more
could be humanly done
- Only the
hand of God could save by sending
- Amazing
grace down in that mine
- With a
miracle for number nine
-
- And who
can forget when the Governor came
- We could
read by the light in his eyes
- Good
news, Happy day
- Jubilee
and Hooray!!
- Praise
the Lord, all nine are alive!!
- Praise
the Lord, all nine are alive!!
-
- In the
Quecreek coal mine Somerset, Pennsylvania
- You're
known as the Miracle Nine
- From you
I've learned courage
- From me,
here is hoping,
- You'll
never go back in that mine
- I was
needing some good news to carry me through
- Praise
the Lord all nine are alive!!
