Third Day - I Need A Miracle Lyrics
Lyrics
Well, late one night, she started to cry and thought, "He ain't coming home"
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"

Third Day - I Need A Miracle
Meaning & Inspiration
Third Day's "I Need a Miracle," released in 2012 on their album of the same name, stands as a poignant anthem of hope in the face of overwhelming despair. The song artfully weaves together narratives of individuals pushed to their absolute limits, seeking divine intervention when human strength falters. It opens with the image of a wife, weary from conflict and falsehood, finding herself on her knees, a testament to her desperate plea for a transformation in her circumstances, echoing the sentiment found in Jeremiah 17:14, "Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." This is immediately followed by a second, even bleaker scenario: a man facing job loss and the potential loss of his family, driven to the brink of ending his life, only to cry out for divine rescue. His desperate prayer, "Lord above, I need a miracle," resonates with the cry of the Psalmist in Psalm 50:15, "and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." The song’s overarching message, powerfully delivered through its chorus, is a universal truth: no matter our status or past, there comes a time when we are incapable of navigating life's trials alone. This underscores the biblical principle that in our weakness, God's strength is made perfect, as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" The narrative then shifts to the man who, on the verge of despair, turns on the radio and finds unexpected hope and strength in a song, leading to a miraculous turnaround. This moment mirrors the transformative power of God's word and His presence, reminding us of verses like Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path," suggesting that even in the darkest woods, a glimmer of divine guidance can be found. "I Need a Miracle" is more than just a song; it's an invitation to acknowledge our reliance on a higher power and a confirmation that even in the depths of desperation, a miracle is always within reach for those who call upon His name, fulfilling the promise in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
