Miracles
NewSong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never saw a man that walked on water
I never heard a voice that could calm the sea
Raise the dead or feed five thousand
But in my heart I do believe

I was in a desperate situation
Drowning in a sea of my own sin
And it would take a miracle to save me
That's when I reached toward heaven
Felt someone touch me
I looked up and I saw Him

And I believe in miracles
I'm a miracle myself
And I believe the good Lord hears
The ones who cry for help
And after all that He has done for me
I believe, I do believe in miracles

So many people look for signs and wonders
They miss the greatest miracle of all
Well it's the miracle of sweet salvation
That's when the God of heaven
Comes down to live inside of someone's heart

repeat chorus
When it feels like my strength is almost gone
And my faith is weak
Lord, You're always there for me
You make it easy to believe





repeat chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Miracles" by NewSong express the singer's faith in the miraculous power of God to heal, save, and transform lives. Although the singer admits that he has never personally witnessed the supernatural events detailed in the Bible, such as walking on water, calming the sea or feeding five thousand, he believes in them. The song suggests that faith is not necessarily founded on empirical evidence or rational proofs, but rather on a deeply personal experience of the divine presence. The singer's own story testifies to the reality of miracles, as he recalls being in a desperate situation, drowning in his own sins, and finding salvation through the grace of God. The "miracle" he experiences is not so much an extraordinary event as a fundamental change of heart and mind, a rebirth of the spirit, that allows him to see the world in a new way.


Moreover, "Miracles" emphasizes the power of believing, not just in isolated acts of wonder, but in the overarching miracle of salvation. The lyrics suggest that many people are so preoccupied with looking for signs and wonders that they miss the most important miracle of all, which is the transformation of a human soul into a vessel of divine love. The song invites the listener to embrace a faith that is not based on flashy displays of power or external confirmations, but on a deep connection to the divine, a relationship with a loving God who touches us and inspires us, even in the midst of our doubts and struggles. Ultimately, the song celebrates the miracle of being alive, of being able to experience the beauty and wonder of the world, of having the capacity to love and be loved.


In conclusion, "Miracles" is a song that speaks to the human longing for transcendence, the hope for something beyond the ordinary, the mundane, the predictable. The lyrics offer a vision of faith that is dynamic, personal, and transformative, one that affirms the value of each individual and the power of the divine to work wonders in our lives.
