STORY BEHIND THE SONG

 

I remember getting a phone call from one of my closest friends. "Kristi has cancer. It doesn't look good, but we're believing for a Miracle." I wrote the lyrics to this song the next day. I prayed and believed with him. Kristi, mother of 3 young boys and wife to Chuck, would die 2 months later.


The song is not a miracle sweat cloth, or a televangelist coming to a town near you. It's the crying out when you're in the depths of life--believing. And as we all know, sometimes it doesn't end like we so fervently believed. The song is not a promise of a miracle...I’m no authority on that. It is, however, the declaration that we will all find ourselves in great need of one at some point in our lives - and in those moments, we choose to believe even when we can't see our hands in front of our face.

(lyrics)

Have you ever had a dream | So big no one else could see? | But you believed | It was possible to be | Anything you wanted to | Believe me when I say that | You are not alone today | Oh, I have been there, too

 

 When the whole world seems to turn its back on me | All alone out on the sea | I need a miracle | I need a miracle | When life don’t see seem to make sense at all | I believe You hear me when I call | I need a miracle | I need a miracle

 

Have you ever stared death in the face | So close you could hardly breathe in? | And you cry out to God for mercy to prevent the fall | There are very few words to say | When you can’t see another day | Oh, my heart beats again

 

When the lights all seem to come crashing down | All alone no one around | I need a miracle | I need a miracle | When life don’t see seem to make sense at all | I believe You hear me when I call

 

Oh, I believe | I believe | And I believe | Though I can’t see | Now I believe | I believe | And I believe | I still believe

 

When the whole world seems to turn its back on me | All alone out on the sea | I need a miracle | Oh God, I need a miracle | When life don’t see seem to make sense at all | You always hear me when I call | I need a miracle | God, I need a miracle

 

Oh, and I have been there, too | Believe, believe | Oh, and I have been there, too | Believe
