Contemporary Christian singer Chris August has released Restore as the second single off The Upside of Down as the follow-up to Center of It, and I couldn’t be happier. I felt Restore was the strongest track of all in The Upside of Down, musically and lyrically. The message of Restore couldn’t have come at a better time, when divorce and separation rates are skyrocketing and marriages are falling apart all around us. Every married couple going through rough times needs to hear Chris August’s Restore.
RESTORE Lyrics
Chris August
Nobody’s growing old together, we’ve made it easy just to quit
Love has become a negative percentage, why do we bother to commit
We’ve got a long list of excuses, ways we try to justify
Well, I propose to you the truth is, marriage does not have to die
I know you’re feeling like it’s falling apart and it can’t go on anymore
But God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord
And He will restore
He said with this ring I promise, and with I do she said forever
But right now if they’re being honest they don’t know if they’ll stay together
Let’s fast forward to the future after struggling on their own
They finally figured out they needed Jesus in the middle
Now I’m watching God rebuild their home
I know you’re feeling like it’s falling apart and it can’t go on anymore
But God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord
And He will restore
The enemy tries to come and divide
Trying to get us to give up the fight
But darkness will always lose out to light
‘Cause we’ve got the power of Christ on our side
I see you growing old together
I pray I find a love like yours
So if you’re feeling like it’s falling apart and it can’t go on anymore
God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord
And He will restore
Like it was before
You may have strayed off course
But He will restore
