Here Be Lions - Miracles Lyrics
Lyrics
The One who made the blind to see
Is moving here in front of me
Moving here in front of me
The One who made the deaf to hear
Is silencing my every fear
Silencing my every fear
I believe in You
I believe in You
You're the God of miracles
I believe in You
I believe in You
You're the God of miracles
The One who does impossible
Is reaching out to make me whole
Reaching out to make me whole
The One who put death in its place
His life is flowing through my veins
His life is flowing through my veins
The God who was and is to come
The power of the Risen One
The God who brings the dead to life
You're the God of miracles
You're the God of miracles

Meaning & Inspiration
"Miracles" by Here Be Lions, released on June 22, 2018, as part of their album "Only a Holy God (Live)," emerges as far more than just a song; it's a profound declaration of unwavering faith in God's active presence and power. This piece isn't just recounting past divine interventions; it's a vibrant affirmation that the same God who moved throughout biblical history is intimately engaged with His people right now. The song’s essence lies in bridging the historical accounts of God's miraculous works with a deeply personal, present-day experience of His transformative hand. It invites everyone to confidently believe in a God whose nature is eternally consistent—a God of wonders yesterday, today, and forever.
The opening lines, speaking of "The One who made the blind to see / Is moving here in front of me," immediately draw us to the profound healing miracles of Jesus, vividly recorded in the Gospels. We recall instances like the blind man at the Pool of Siloam in John 9, or Bartimaeus on the road to Jericho in Mark 10:46-52, whose sight was miraculously restored. The compelling shift from past tense to present—"Is moving here in front of me"—is crucial, suggesting that God’s power is not relegated to ancient texts but is an active, perceivable force in our contemporary lives, inviting us to recognize His work in our immediate reality. Similarly, the subsequent lines, "The One who made the deaf to hear / Is silencing my every fear," directly reference Christ’s ability to restore hearing, as seen with the deaf man in Mark 7:31-37. This physical restoration is beautifully paralleled with a spiritual and emotional liberation, linking God’s power over physical ailments to His capacity to calm our deepest anxieties. It powerfully echoes promises like Isaiah 41:10, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand," affirming that the same divine authority that commanded ears to open can command fear to dissipate.
The heart of the song resides in its resounding chorus: "I believe in You / You're the God of miracles." This simple yet mighty confession forms an unshakeable bedrock of conviction. It aligns with the foundational truth woven throughout Scripture that faith in God’s existence and His willingness to act supernaturally is essential. Hebrews 11:6 beautifully states, "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would approach God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." The repetition in the chorus serves to engrain this belief, transforming it into a personal, meditative declaration that reinforces confidence in God's omnipotence.
Further expanding on God’s limitless capabilities, the lyrics proclaim, "The One who does impossible / Is reaching out to make me whole." This assertion resonates deeply with Luke 1:37, where the angel Gabriel assured Mary, "For nothing will be impossible with God." The concept of being "made whole" transcends mere physical healing, encompassing a holistic restoration—emotional, spiritual, and psychological. This resonates with instances where Jesus not only healed physical ailments but also brought complete restoration, as He told the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:34, "Your faith has made you whole." It speaks to an inward transformation and a profound repair of brokenness that only God can accomplish. The subsequent powerful declaration, "The One who put death in its place / His life is flowing through my veins," is profoundly Christocentric, celebrating the ultimate victory over death achieved through Jesus' resurrection, a truth central to 1 Corinthians 15. The imagery of "His life is flowing through my veins" is a vivid metaphor for spiritual regeneration and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, who imparts divine life and power to believers. Romans 8:11 powerfully reinforces this, stating, "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you." This speaks to an radical, life-altering internal transformation that transcends human understanding.
The song culminates in a powerful acknowledgment of God’s eternal nature and boundless power: "The God who was and is to come / The power of the Risen One / The God who brings the dead to life." "The God who was and is to come" is a direct echo of Revelation 1:8, affirming God's sovereignty over all time—past, present, and future. The "power of the Risen One" points to the incomparable strength that raised Christ from the dead, a power that Ephesians 1:19-20 assures is available to those who believe. The declaration "The God who brings the dead to life" not only alludes to physical resurrection but also, more broadly, to spiritual awakening and regeneration, where those who are spiritually dead are made alive in Christ, as described in Ephesians 2:4-5. It is a comprehensive and inspiring statement of God’s redemptive power, spanning from creation to His ultimate consummation. Ultimately, "Miracles" by Here Be Lions is a profound call to embrace a living, active God who is not confined to the pages of history but is continually at work in the present. It champions a deeply personal encounter with the miraculous, inviting everyone to move beyond mere theological assent to an experiential, transformative belief in a God who truly changes lives. This anthem serves as a potent reminder that the same divine power that once moved mountains and parted seas is actively engaged in silencing fears, making us whole, and bringing abundant life even today.
