About The Song
Following “Brother Jukebox” and “Blame it On Texas,” MCA bet on “Your Love is a Miracle” to keep the streak going, and somewhat miraculously, they won.
I say that because this is a tepid effort all around.
Listening to Chesnutt’s performances on Too Cold at Home, it’s hard to shake the feeling that he wasn’t a priority for producer Wright, who didn’t do much to encourage the band backing Chesnutt to show some enthusiasm, or do much to coax strong vocals from the new artist at the mic.
He did, however, manage to place five songs of his on the album, including this one and the previous chart-topper, “Blame it On Texas.”
Chesnutt will soon prove himself to be one of the finest vocalists of his generation, so it’s a bummer to go back and hear him deliver a mediocre performance that he would’ve knocked out of the park on the next album. He’s still shaking off his George Strait discipleship here, and he tries to deliver a romantic song the way Strait would instead of leaning in to his own strengths as a singer.
He’s still good enough to make the record a decent listen, but this is far from being essential Mark Chesnutt.

Lyrics
Out on the highway
A lot of pretty girls go by
But none have been right
Up until today
I would never settle down
But you keep coming around
And your love is a miracle
It’s spiritual
Got here just in time
Your love is a miracle
It’s visible
Even to a heart that’s blind like mine
Out in the wild life
A lot of people telling lies
Lookin’ right in your eyes’
And up until tonight
I was always on the prowl
But now I’m settlin’ down
‘Cause your love is a miracle
It’s spiritual
Stands the test of time
Your love is a miracle
It’s visible
Even to a heart that’s blind like mine
Anyone can see what you’re doing to me
Everyone can see that you’re everything I need
‘Cause your love is a miracle
It’s spiritual
Got here just in time
Your love is a miracle
It’s visible
Even to a heart that’s blind like mine
