Restore my joy Lord,
give back to me . . .
the jubilation I had
when I first meet Thee.
Give me back the hope,
like that in my youth
when no one refuted
or challenged my truth.
Restore my faith Lord,
give back unto me
the spirit of meekness
to follow after Thee.
Give me back the trust,
like when I first believed
before satan advanced
to confuse and deceive.
Restore my joy Lord,
give back to me . . .
the faith and trust
of a spirit set free!
~~~~~~~~~~
“Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and uphold
me with thy free spirit.”
