I remember singing songs that God had inspired me to make up to Lucy Stimpson- Maynard. Just about every time Lucy would give me a nice look of acceptance. However on one occasion I remember the verse of a song (in fact this song ) had not been God inspired but had been rather \u201cforced\u201d by me. I could tell by Lucy\u2019s face that it did not work, but then I remembered a melody that Lucy herself had composed for a school concert- so we used Lucy\u2019s melody for the song\u2019s verse and mine for the chorus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestore Us Lord God Almighty\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why have You rejected us?<br \/>\nWhy Lord do You hide Your face?<br \/>\nHow long oh Lord will it be?<br \/>\nWe cry out from this lonely place.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve put us in the darkest depths,<br \/>\nLord our eyes are dim with grief,<br \/>\nOh Lord the God who saves us,<br \/>\nHear our prayer to be released.<\/p>\n<p>Restore us Lord God Almighty,<br \/>\nMake Your face shine upon us,<br \/>\nThat we might be saved,<br \/>\nReturn to us Lord God Almighty,<br \/>\nRevive us and we\u2019ll call on Your Name.<\/p>\n<p>Your wrath lies heavy upon us,<br \/>\nWe\u2019re overwhelmed with Your waves,<br \/>\nWe spread our hand out to You,<br \/>\nIs Your love declared in the grave?<\/p>\n<p>Restore us Lord God Almighty,<br \/>\nMake Your face shine upon us,<br \/>\nThat we might be saved,<br \/>\nReturn to us Lord God Almighty,<br \/>\nRevive us and we\u2019ll call on Your Name.<\/p>\n<p>Lord we call on Your Name.<\/p>\n<p>Taken from Psalms 80 and 88.<br \/>\nInspired by devotions in \u201cEvery Day With Jesus\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quote of the week<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t count the days- make the days count.<br \/>\nMuhammad Ali<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restore Us Lord God Almighty (Shearsmith\/Maynard) featuring Lucy Stimpson-Maynard from the album &#8220;Where Would I Be Without You?&#8221; recorded and produced by Ross Gill Although this message from Bear Grylls was intended as an Easter Sunday message I still feel it appropriate for the challenging times in which we are, at present, living.
