Thrilled with how the new album is progressing, despite delays for health and August world tour! The Finn band have added some superb strings and other tasty bits. Evan Cooper and I are heading for the mix in November. Will keep you posted on the release date in the New Year. Here is the lyric of ‘Stolen Years’ from Joel 2 which has had strong reaction throughout NZ and Finland. Appreciate your prayers as we complete this special project. On ya David
The stolen years
Verse 1
Return to me with all your heart
For I am gracious, compassionate
Slow to anger, abounding in love
Autumn rain, and in the spring
Abundant showers, I will bring
Good grain, new wine, pure oil for your soul
Chorus 1
I will repay the stolen years
Bring soothing balm for all your fears
Wipe away every tear
Chorus 2
I will restore the wasted years
Sing sweetest of music to your ears
Through the gloom light appears
Verse 2
I pour out my Spirit while
Your sons and daughters prophecy
Old men dream their dreams
Young men see visions
I pour out my Spirit now
On men and women I will shower
Wonders in the heavens, and on earth
Chorus
Bridge
Everyone, call on the name of the Lord, and be saved (rpt twice)
By my mercy, I will do great things
Return to your stronghold, all you prisoners of hope (rpt twice)
Twice as much, will I restore to you
