A song by Preye Odede title: "I Will Restore" took my mind to Joel 2:25-27
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm— my great army that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.
27 Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed.
LYRICS OF "I WILL RESTORE"
Have you ever call My Name in praise
And I didn't answer
Have you ever cry to Me in faith
And I didn't show up
Why can't you just cast your fears and burdens
And leave it right there
I Am Your God and I will restore
Why can't you just throw your doubts away
And start believing
All the time you've cried an felt alone
Is enough to trust Me
Have you ever wondered Who I Am
I'm Your Father
I Am Your God and I will restore
The years you sowed in tears
(I will restore…)
You may have lost your job
(I will restore…)
Your families left you
(I will restore…)
Oh you've been crying for babies
(I will restore…)
You've been jailed and tried
“I Am Your God and I will restore
I'm Your God
(I will restore…)
Keep on believing
(I will restore…)
Oh (i will restore…)
Call: Forever I'm Your God
Resp: I never change …
Call: Before you came My way
Resp: waited for you…
Call: Nothing is hidden
Resp: Before My eyes …
Call: Why can't you trust Me
For you I stretch My hands
Resp: Upon the cross …
Call: And the blood I shed
Resp: Is not in vain…
Call: They pierced My side
(All because of you)
Oh the years you sowed in tears
(I will restore…)
You may have lost your job
(I will restore…)
Doctor said it 's all over don't cry
(I will restore…)
I ' m your healer; just cast your fears on me
(I will restore…)
You have been walking alone for too long
(I will restore…)
Here is My shoulder; you can lean on me
(I will restore…)
I Am Your Father; can't you understand
(I will restore…)
I ' m Your Redeemer; I gave my life for you
(I will restore…)
I ' m Your God; I'm bringing you out
(I will restore…)
I ' m changing your story
(I will restore…)
It doesn't matter; how long you have cried
(I will restore…)
It doesn't matter; how long you've been bound
(I will restore…)
I ' m coming through for you
(I will restore…)
I ' m here for you; don't you cry
(I will restore…)
All you got to do; is believing
(I will restore…)
Believing in Me
(I will restore…)
All the years you sow in tears, JESUS will restore.
Just believe and your story will change.
This month and this season God will restore all your wasted years just believe in Him.
Prayer
Oh Lord my redeemer please restore all my wasted years in Jesus name. Amen.
