I WILL RESTORE

CHORUS
I will restore what the locust has eaten,
I will restore all your lost and lonely years;
I will restore what the locust has eaten,
I will restore all your lost and lonely years.
 
V1
For I am the God of promise,
I am the God of faith;
I am the one who died for you
And rose up from the grave.
 
CH
 
V2
Child you can put your trust in me:
My Word you can believe.
My promises you know are true;
Your faith you can release.
 
CH
 
V3
For You are the God of promise;
You are the God of faith;
You are the one who died for us
And rose up from the grave.
 
V4
Lord we put our trust in you
Your Word we do believe
Your promises we know are true
Our faith we can release.
 
CH
I will restore what the locust has eaten,
I will restore all your lost and lonely years;
I will restore what the locust has eaten,
I will restore all your lost and lonely years.

Taken from Joel 2:21-27
Fear not … Be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done marvellous things …
He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you …
The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 
So shall I restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust and the chewing locust …
You shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God … and My people shall never be put to shame…
