I Need a Miracle (#0920)

2012/11/21 By Greg

“I Need a Miracle” is the title track on Third Day‘s latest album: Miracle (released November 2012).  The chorus is a powerful reminder that at some point in life everyone needs 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

So What?

An unofficial theme song of American culture might include the following lyrics:

Well no matter who you are
And no matter what you’ve done
There will come a time
When you have to just make it on your own
And in your hour of desperation
Know you’re not the only one
Workin’ “strength within, I need to persevere”
I need to do it on my own

As a follower of Jesus:

  • How do you hear the lyrics to the chorus of culture? the chorus of faith as expressed by Third Day?
  • What do you understand to be the limits of self-initiative? The role of reliance upon others? reliance upon God?
