about

Written while Kevin was on a military assignment in Iceland. Studying the blues artists and styles during that time, "Restored" follows a traditional 12-bar blues pattern. The lyrics came after hearing of a friend going through a trial in their life, while his wife was having a trial of her own while Kevin was away. The idea that God allows trials in our life to refine us "like gold and silver" (Malachi 3:2-4; Job 23:10) and "even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:7)."

lyrics

Verse 1:
There's a fire burnin', deep in my soul
There's a fire burnin', deep in my soul
When I come into His love
Eternal glory, grace of God
I'm restored, now I'm shining like gold

Verse 2;
There's a fire burnin', refining my soul
There's a fire burnin', refining in my soul
When I come into His love
Eternal glory, grace of God
I'm restored, shining like gold

Chorus
I'm restored, I'm a new creation
Woah, oh oh, I'm a new creation

Verse 3
There's a change a coming
I feel it in my bones
I know He's working on something
Refining my soul
Holy Spirit with Your groan
Help me know I'm not alone
I'm restored, shining like gold

Chorus

Verse 4:
Now the sun is shining
Shining in my soul
His Son is shining
Shining in my soul
Holy Spirit now I know
You are here I'm not alone
I'm restored, shining like gold

Verse 5:
There's a fire burnin', deep in my soul
There's a fire burnin', refining my soul
Holy Spirit now I know
You are here, I'm not alone
I'm restored, now I'm shining like gold
