This is the second studio album, and takes as its core song "Days of Elijah", which is perhaps, my most well known modern hymn. However, the album also contains 13 other songs of praise and worship, and I would like to introduce just one of those songs.

The song "When You Restored" has particular relevance for some of my musicians. It celebrates through one of the well known psalms, the restoration of people brought back to God. The original text of the psalm reads "when the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream" and is a picture saying that God's revelation and restoration is better that anything you can even dream of.

At the time of the song being written, two new people joined my worship band. One was a single girl who had gone through a number of traumatic experiences in relationships and the another a single man who had similarly. Both of these people had been to the lowest place and probably felt that restoration in the form of relationships was too great a prize to even imagine. But God is good and in the midst of being in the band, rehearsing for worship, these two people met and within six months were married and they now have a little son. God restored both their lives and ther relationships, bringing them from a place of darkness to a place of light. A remarkable transformation in circumstance and experience took place, all because of God's desire to bring restoration to individuals' lives. This is what he offers through Jesus, and this is what we can expect from the loving heart of a Father God. So when the song says "when you restored us Lord, we were like those who dream, touched by your sacrificial love, washed in your healing stream", it simply states what God's redemptive power can do to and for anyone.
