THE WINANS
"Restoration"
(Marvin Winans)

Restore me, restore to me the joy
Restore me, restore to me the joy
This is my prayer today, yeah

It reminds me of the prodigal son
After his riotous livin' all the evil he had done
Yet when he returned his father received him home
Gave him a ring of gold, put him on a robe

Killed the fatted calf
Gave him somethin' he never ever had
Restoration

Restoration has finally come
Been restored back to my place in God
Restoration has finally come
Been restored back to my place in God

What would I know about being restored
If I never lost my place
What would I know about his mercy if I hadn't got out of grace

It sort of reminds me of the prodigal son
After his riotous livin', all the evil he had done
Yet when he returned his father received him home
Gave him a ring of gold put him on a robe

Killed the fatted calf
Gave him somethin' he never ever had
Restoration

Restoration has finally come
Been restored back to my place in God
Restoration has finally come
Been restored back to my place in God

Restore the joy of my salvation
Give me back my consecration
Restore the life that I once knew
I'm giving my life back to you

And we'd just like to say restore me restore the joy
Restore me restore the joy
And we'd just like to say restore me restore the joy
Restore me restore the joy
And we'd just like to say restore me restore the joy
Restore me restore the joy

I'm restored and I'm glad about it
I'm restored and I'm glad about it
I'm renewed and I'm glad about it
I'm restored and I'm glad about it

I'm glad about it, I'm glad about it
I'm glad about it
I'll shout about it, I'll shout about it
I'll shout about it
