Restore My Soul
[Verse 1]
Lord, I'm back in this much too familiar place again
Would you uproot the bad fruit and take away my sin
'Cause I've fallen again, how can I refrain
From doing these things that don't bring glory upon your name
There's no excuse for the use of my days
When I refuse Your truth and abuse Your grace
How dare I get enraged when I flip over the page
And read about the way the children of Israel slipped and strayed
'Cause I do the same, then hang my head in shame
I'm such a foolish man, yet Your love remains the same
Matter of fact, You're increasingly gracious
If we was in Your place and been betrayed the same way
We would hate us
But you're patient and faithful, we're ungrateful
In spite of all You do sometimes we act as we hate You
Lord, I'm such a wretched man, I'd stand condemned
In need of a savior to pay for the sins of man
My God, my redeemer, would you restore my soul
Help me remember the way we were before sin took its toll
It's so cold, how could I let it embrace me
Your love burns with open arms for me to return and it breaks me

[Hook]
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
[Verse 2]
Why would You choose a sinner like me, why adopt me
You copped me so I could be free, but I'm so sloppy
I wanna dedicate my life to live for Your glory
But half the time it feels like I'm just trying to keep from falling
Lord, I need You, can't live my life this way
Having these moments, living like I despise what You say
I know I'll never be perfect but my purpose
Is offering my body as a sacrifice of worship
It hurts when I disgrace Your name and Your temple
I don't belong to me, I'm a thief, it's that simple
I was bought at a price too extreme to redeem with any
Works of the flesh or excessive cream so
Why do I try to live life outside of Your boundaries
When Christ, who has died and made alive, now resides in me
And obviously I'm now His property so [use?] properly
This new life don't belong to me at all, it was bought for me
I wanna glorify You with all of my body
Help me to flee from sin and compromise with nobody
Help me to flee when it seems like there's no hope
The way that Joseph did from Potiphar's wife and left back his cloak

[Hook]
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
Restore my soul
I need You to seek me, Father
Need to me reach me, Lord
I need you to keep me
[Verse 3]
Why do I do these things I don't want to do
Lord, I was reading Romans 7:15 and I guess that the same was true
Even for Paul, and it seems so appalling
That even though I'm called I'm still subject to falling
And just a little later ran into Romans 8
When he was telling all the saints that there's no condemnation
For the law of the spirit of life has set us free in Christ Jesus
Which means that the Father's now pleased when He sees us
But it's such a struggle at times just to believe this
Without applying my faith to Your grace and receive it
What? Are my sins bigger than what Christ did?
So I somehow require further sacrifices? Nah
I must have been tripping with foolish ambition
'Cause I don't wanna sin but when I do, Your grace is sufficient, Lord
If You was faithful to save me, then You'll sustain me
And I'm thankful that Your love for Your sons is unwavering
