The Days the Locusts Ate

I know I don't deserve devotion or respect

I know I'm blessed with things that I cannot expect

And I know that the power to examine my hard heart

Will only be supplied as it's breaking apart!

For I'm accountable for my past

I'm paying fourfold from the first to the last

For the mistakes I've made along the way

The confidences I've betrayed

But You are the Lord-You are MY Lord

So the days the locusts ate can truly be restored

For no one need encourage what I do

For my assurance comes from only YOU!

You gave asurance of my salvation, Lord

And now I need from you what no one can afford

For no one trusts, not one believes

that in you all things are possible for ME

But You are the Lord-You are MY Lord

So the days the locusts ate can truly be restored

For no one need encourage what I do

For my assurance comes from only YOU!

But You are the Lord-You are MY Lord

So the days the locusts ate can truly be restored

For no one need encourage what I do

For my assurance comes from only YOU!

At a time of repentance and conviction over wasted time and wasted religious games, I was confronted by the sweetness of forgiveness and an exhiliarating HOPE that I saw in Christ in a fresh new way.
