Lyrics
Intro: Tori Kelly
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Verse 1: Forrest Frank
Oh, lately I feel like I've been 'on 'my own
Walking these 'streets, but they don't feel like 'home
Trying to fight it, but I just can't seem to break through
Oh, I need some rest and I need a way out
I wish I knew what all this was about
All of these questions just lead me straight back to You
Chorus: Forrest Frank
Miracle Worker make me new
I know there's nothing You can't do
I don't know who else to run to
Miracle Worker, I need a miracle soon
Verse 2: Tori Kelly
Running on empty, at the end of my rope
Never thought I'd be the one losing hope
Put on a smile when I need to be someone else
I'm broken in pieces, lonely inside
But I heard that You save each tear that I cry
I know my help only comes from You
Chorus: Tori Kelly, Forrest Frank, & Forrest Frank and Tori Kelly
Miracle Worker make me new (You Make me new)
I know there's nothing You can't do (You can't do)
I don't know who else to run to
Miracle Worker, I need a miracle soon
I need a miracle
Outro: Tori Kelly, Forrest Frank, & Forrest Frank and Tori Kelly
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Meaning & Inspiration
“Miracle Worker” presents prayer from a place of exhaustion, loneliness, and fading hope. The verses describe streets that no longer feel like home, unanswered questions, and the strain of hiding pain behind a smile. Instead of offering an easy explanation for suffering, the lyric turns those questions toward God. The title becomes a name of trust for the one believed able to renew a broken life.
The chorus asks the Miracle Worker to make the singer new and confesses that no other refuge can meet the need. Images of being at the end of a rope and broken into pieces make the request urgent, while the mention of tears being kept recalls biblical portrayals of God noticing sorrow. The claim that help comes only from God also closely echoes the Psalms. Together, these lines frame a needed miracle not merely as changed circumstances, but as restoration, rest, and renewed hope in divine care.
