Restoration

[Intro: Choir & Marvin Winans]
Restore me, restore to me the joy
(This is my prayer today, yes)
Restore me (Restore to me the joy)
Restore to me the joy

[Chorus: Marvin Winans]
Restoration has finally come
Been restored back to my place in God
Restoration has finally come
Been restored back to my place in God

[Verse 1: Marvin Winans]
What would I know about being restored
If I never lost my place?
And what would I know about his mercy
If I hadn't got out of grace?
Restoration

[Chorus: The Winans & Marvin Winans]
Restoration has finally come
(Been restored) Been restored back to my place in God
(Oh, restoration) Restoration has finally come
(Been restored) Been restored back to my place in God

[Verse 2: Marvin Winans]
It reminds me of the prodigal son
After his righteous 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

[Chorus: The Winans & Marvin Winans]
Restoration has finally come
(I've been restored)
Been restored back to my place in God
(I'm gonna say it one more time)
Restoration has finally come
(Been restored, my brother)
Been restored back to my place in God

[Bridge: Marvin Winans]
Oh, 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 righteous 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

[Chorus: The Winans & Marvin Winans]
Restoration has finally come
(I have been restored)
Been restored back to my place in God
(Hey, restoration)
Restoration has finally come
(I have been restored)
Been restored back to my place in God
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Outro: The Winans & Marvin Winans]
Restore the joy of my salvation
(Give me back, ah)
Give me back my consecration
(Restore the life)
Restore the life that I once knew
(I'm giving my life back to you, yes)
I'm giving my life back to you
And we'd just like to say restore me
Hey, restore the joy, yes
Restore me
Restore to me the joy, yes
Restore the joy
I wanna tell 'em back home, yes
Restore me
Won't you bring me back, Lord
Restore the joy
I need to be restored, Lord
Restore me
Restore to me the joy
Restore the joy
(I'm restored) I'm restored
(I'm glad about it) I'm glad about it
(Said I'm restored) I'm restored
(I'm glad about it) I'm glad about it
(I've been renewed) I've been renewed
(I'm glad about it) And I'm glad about it
(I done been renewed) I've been renewed
(I'm glad about it) And I'm glad about it
(And I'm glad about it) And I'm glad about it
(I'm glad about it) And I'm glad about it
(I'm glad about it) And I'm glad about it
(I'm glad) And I'm glad about it
(I will sing) Glad, and I'll sing about it
(I'll sing about it) I'll sing about it
(And I'll shout about it) I'll shout about it
(Shout about it) I'll shout about it
