Verse 1:
I told somebody I was looking for a miracle
and then they go and try to conjure up
a resolution for my hang-ups,
but it cannot be done.

I told them what I needed
was a supernatural act from God,
then they looked at me like I was so crazy,
like it was too hard.

(I've learned to lean not unto man),
(because I know that he cannot)
(take the pain away or make rain dissipate),
or wash my tears away.

Chorus:
I want to pray like they did in the upper room,
I will not leave because I need to hear from You, God;
(and my mission won't stop),
(I'm standing in the) need of a breakthrough.

I want to walk in Your will and be favored,
no matter how long I must put in my labor, God;
(and my mission won't stop),
(I'm standing in the) need of a breakthrough.

Verse 2:
I told somebody I was sick in my body
and then they read me a list of all the doctors
in this pamphlet, but not if they're human.

What I have it doesn't require
a vaccine or anything,
what I need is the healing virtue
of the Father not a doctor.

(I've learned to lean not unto man),
(because I know that he cannot)
(take the pain away or make rain dissipate),
or wash my tears away.

Chorus

Vamp:
Some people try to help me out,
others try to pull me through,
but they cannot figure out
why they can't get it right;
(sorry, but it's not your fault),
(I'm in) need of a breakthrough.

Everybody's praying for me,
putting in petitions for me,
trying to keep the faith
as they wait for a breakthrough
(we wrestle with the angels)
(I'm in) need of a breakthrough.

Chorus
