I told her that I'd been thinking the exact same thing... I guess this post is overdue. Here it is Neissa, as requested by you. (I'm quite honored that you read my blog, even if nobody else does!)
This week I came across a song that I began writing in Haiti, just a few months after I moved here. It seems timely to post the lyrics now, as I once again reflect on my purpose here... or God's purpose for me here. He continues to show me areas in my life that need to be made NEW!
While this song came from my reflections and observations of Haiti, it can be applied to any place or anyone. On the outside, Haiti is different in many ways to other countries you may visit but it's people are just like you and me. In need of a Savior. Broken. In need of being restored and made new.
(For more thoughts on restoration see this old blog post.)
Without further delay here are the lyrics of a song in the making.
I just need some guitar chords to go with it!
Restore my soul
In this land that is hurting
For the heart that is yearning
You are Lord, You are Lord
To the weak and lonely
Humbled before thee
You restore, You restore
For Your glory Lord
For Your glory Lord
Restore my soul
Restore my soul
To the broken in Spirit
There is hope, forgiveness
You restore, You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
For Your glory Lord
For Your glory Lord
Restore my soul
Restore my soul
What He says he will do
What He says he will do
