This track is based off the scripture Joel 2:25, where God declares: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten"
For anyone losing hope that you will ever see a breakthrough.
Lyrics:
(Ooh-ooh)
I see the field you left
Brown and bent by storm
I counted what was gone
You counted what was torn
The grain the locust took
The joy that slipped away
I held the empty jars
You held the coming day
But You speak over dust
And You call it alive
You breathe on the ruin
And teach the dead to rise
Restore the years, restore the years
You turn our ashes into grain
Restore the years, restore the years
You bring the harvest back again
What the storm took, what the thief stole
Restore the years, restore the years
Only You can make us whole
You know the long old roads
The hours I can't replace
The prayers I barely said
The tears I hid away
Still You are near to me
Still You remember all
The seed in broken hands
The hope inside the fall
So I will lift my face
To the God who keeps His word
You finish what You start
You heal the hurt I've heard
Restore the years, restore the years
You turn our ashes into grain
Restore the years, restore the years
You bring the harvest back again
What the storm took, what the thief stole
Restore the years, restore the years
Only You can make us whole
Breathe on the ruined ground
Send rain on the field again
Where there was only loss
Let mercy start to sing
I will not fear the years
I will not call them lost
You are the God who gives
More than the damage cost
Restore the years, restore the years
Lord, make us whole
Restore the years
