The end of this song ends with a line that should be posted on a billboard or something “And in your hour of desperation know you’re not the only one prayin’, “lord above, I need a miracle.” Like I said before, we all have times where we need God’s help, times when we can’t do it on our own and in those times it is ever so important that you remember that you are not struggling alone. There are many other people struggling alongside you and everyone needs a miracle – don’t be ashamed to ask for yours.
(see the note after the lyrics for a personal note about what this song has reminded me)
“I Need A Miracle” by Third Day
She was tired of the lies, tired of the fight, but she didn’t want to see him go
She fell on her knees and said, “I haven’t prayed since I was young
But Lord above, I need a miracle”
Well no matter who you are and no matter what you’ve done
There will come a time when you can’t make it on your own
And in your hour of desperation
Know you’re not the only one
Prayin’, “lord above, I need a miracle
I need a miracle”
He lost his job and all he had in the fall of ’09
Now he feared the worst, that he would lose his children and his wife
So he drove down deep into the woods and thought he’d end it all
And prayed, “Lord above, I need a miracle”
Well no matter who you are and no matter what you’ve done
There will come a time when you can’t make it on your own
And in your hour of desperation
Know you’re not the only one
Prayin’, “lord above, I need a miracle
I need a miracle”
La dda dda dda
La dda dda dda
La dda dda dda
Wooooooooah!
La dda dda dda
La dda dda dda
La dda dda dda
Wooooooooah!
He turned on the radio to hear a song for the last time
He didn’t know what he was looking for, or even what he’d find
The song he heard gave him hope and strength to carry on
And on that night they found a miracle
They found a miracle
La dda dda dda
La dda dda dda
La dda dda dda
Wooooooooah!
And in your hour of desperation
Know you’re not the only one
Prayin’, “lord above, I need a miracle”
“Lord above, I need a miracle”
We all have messed up lives – we are all only human. We all need a miracle at one point or another and when that time comes, God will still be listening. This song reminds me what the purpose of playing Christian music is – and why it is so important to exemplify Christ in everything that I do. It is not about making money or becoming famous. It is not about making friends or being popular. It is not about the thrill of standing on stage or the exhilarating feeling you get after you have done something for someone that will never know it was you that did the good dead. Sometimes this type of thing is all the reason that someone needs to go on living – to pick up there head and make it through one more day.
This song reminded me of the importance of what I have come to do. I would challenge you to ask yourself what the importance of the things you are doing for God are. If they to make money or get new friends is it really done for God?
