Question
In the early 70's I think was a song entitled 'Restore'. It had lyrics that included...'Restore the joy of my salvation, restore the joy to me. And if I ever doubt, that You're really the answer, restore the joy to me...I can recall the time, I fell on my bended knee, I asked the Lord to come down, and deliver me...'
That's about all I remember.  Could you tell me who wrote it, where I can find it, and if it's sung by anyone so I can hear it? Thanks

Answer
This sounds like a song recorded by the The Winans in the early 80s.  It's tricky when artists use actual scriptures to write songs.  I hope this helps.  It would be on their first project, "Introducing The Winans" or a greatest hits packaged entitled, "Mega 3" which includes their first 3 albums.
