Verse 1
God restores what the locusts ate, that’s what the good book says,
It’s true; he did restore the whole of me…
But I’ve got a few things that went missing along the way.
Since He’s handing out restoration, I’d love a chance,
To get back my old waistline and my favorite pair of pants.
If the locusts took the harvest, maybe He’ll restore my cash,
‘Cause last Christmas left my bank account a little trashed.
I’ll take my patience back, and maybe my youth,
And a brand-new couch the dog didn’t chew through!
Chorus
Oh, God restores what the locusts ate,
Every missing piece, every little plate.
From my Tupperware lids to my lost car keys,
Lord, you restored me but can you restore some small things, please!
Verse 2
I’m waiting on restoration, for what the locusts stole,
Like my half of the snacks that my kids swallowed whole.
If He’s got time, I’d love it if He’d bring back my will,
To hit the gym again and pay off my bills.
The harvest may be gone, but so is my sleep,
And I’m praying for Wi-Fi that’s strong and deep.
If He’s restoring crops, then bring back my groove,
So I can stop losing things I swear I didn’t move!
Chorus
Oh, God restores what the locusts ate,
Every missing piece, every little plate.
From my patience to my old favorite jeans,
Lord, you restored me but can you restore some small things, please!
Bridge
If God’s handing out second chances here,
I’ll sign up my cluttered garage, don’t fear.
And if He’s fixing what’s been laid to waste,
I hope He finds my sanity and misplaced taste!
Verse 3
They say He’ll restore what the locusts took,
But my toddler’s appetite needs a second look.
If He’s bringing back harvests, I’ll take back my peace,
And a bit of that joy I misplaced in the fleece.
From plants I forgot to water to the keys I misplace,
There’s a list of things I’d love to embrace.
With every laugh and every lost little thing,
I know God restores joy like a new spring.
Chorus
Oh, God restores what the locusts ate,
Every missing piece, every little plate.
From Wi-Fi strength to my teenage metabolism,
Lord, bring it back, I’m prayin’ with rhythm!
Outro
So here’s to all the things I thought I’d lost,
From Tupperware lids to the car keys I tossed.
But God doesn’t just bring back what’s worn or torn—
He restores your heart, your spirit reborn.
It’s not about the stuff that slips away,
It’s the strength and the hope He brings each day.
When the locusts come, and the losses sting,
God fills you up with joy—now that’s everything.
Yawl come see us as FARM.FM.
Thank ya, kindly!…
