This house can’t take another fight / But once again our pride / Is the only one that’s winning / And I wish that we could just rewind / Turn the hands of time / Back to love’s beginning / There’s plenty of blame to go around / Too many tears have touched the ground / I know it looks too far beyond repair / But I believe love can be restored / If we take a little less this time / And give a
little more / So hold on to me, I promise you we’ll make it through this / Stronger than we’ve ever been before / Let’s be the proof that love can be restored / Now we could choose the easy way / Like people do these days / Go and find another meant to be / But I, I don’t want somebody new / This heart belongs to you / So baby, don’t give up on me / By now we’ve learned enough to
know / That we can’t fix this on our own / So take my hand and say a prayer with me / Lord, bring what’s broken back to life / Help this husband love his wife / Only You can save this family / I believe love can be restored / If we take a little less this time / And give a little more / So hold on to me, I promise you we’ll make it through this / Stronger than we’ve ever been before / They’ll say we’re proof that love can be restored

Behind the Song:SO MANY MARRIAGES ARE UNDER ATTACK. THE WORLD IS STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, YOU CAN JUST START ALL OVER. BUT THAT’S NOT GOD’S PLAN FOR OUR MARRIAGES. THIS IS A GREAT STORY OF A MAN WHO FELL INTO SIN, HAD AN AFFAIR AND HOW GOD SLOWLY RESTORED HIS MARRIAGE. THIS IS ABOUT SECOND CHANCES, AND HOPEFULLY A POWERFUL REMINDER THAT WITH GOD’S HELP, LOVE CAN BE RESTORED. - Matthew West
