Lyrics

Well, late one night, (B)she start ed to cry and thought, “He ain’t com ing (E)home.”

She was tired of the lies, (B)tired of the fight, but she (A)did n’t want to see him (E)go.

She fell on her knees and (E)said, “I have n’t prayed since I was (B)young,

but (A)Lord a bove, I need a mir a cle.”

Well, no (A)mat ter who you (E)are and no mat ter what you’ve (C#m)done, there will come a time (E)when you can’t make it on your own.

And in your hour of des per (E)a tion, know you’re not the on ly (C#m)one pray ing, “Lord a bove, I need a mir a cle.”

(B)I need a mir a cle.

He lost his job (B)and all he had in the (A)fall of ’0 (E)9.

Now he feared the worst, (B)that he would lose his chil dren and his (E)wife.

So he drove down deep in (E)to the woods and thought he’d end it (B)all, and prayed, (A)“Lord a bove, I need a mir a cle.”

Well, no a bove, I need a mir a cle.

(B)I need a mir a cle.”

La da da da da da (E)da.

La da da da da da (B)da.

La da da da da da (E)da.

Whoa.

La da da da da da (E)da.

La da da da da da (B)da.

La da da da da da (E)da.

Whoa.

La da da

He turned on the ra di (B)o to hear a song for the last (E)time.

He did n’t (C#m)know what he was (B)look ing for, or e ven what he’d (E)find.

And the song he heard, (E)it gave him hope and strength to car ry (C#m)on.

And on that night, they found a mir a cle.

(B)They found a mir a cle.

La da da da da da (E)da.

La da da da da da (B)da.

La da da da da da (E)da.

Whoa.

And in your hour of des per (E)a tion, know you’re not the on ly (C#m)one pray ing, “Lord a bove, I need a mir a cle.

Lord a bove, I need a mir a cle.”
