Newsboys' song 'Restart' is about experiencing a fresh start through God's love and grace. The lyrics describe a person who was at the end of their rope, weighed down by life and lost in their own ways. But God's love opened their eyes, lifted them up, and gave them a second chance. The song emphasizes transformation and renewal, with the idea that God makes all things new. It's an upbeat, encouraging anthem about redemption and the power of God to restart a life that was falling apart.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I was finished, game over
Couldn't carry the weight on my shoulders
At my end, in trouble
Knocked down on the ground seein' double
But then Your love, love opened my eyes
Lifted me up, up, now I'm alive
I raise my hands, hands to the sky
Singing �??Oh oh oh oh oh oh�?� �??Oh oh oh oh oh�?�
Oh Lord, I'm a different man
You gave me a second chance
I was lost, I was fallin' apart
But You came along, and You hit the restart
You, You, You hit the restart
You, You, You hit the restart
You, You, You hit the restart
You came along, and You hit the restart
I was twisted, like bad religion
Fully committed to my way of livin'
I heard the preacher, but never listened
On a dead end road without a mission
[Chorus]
Restart, Restart, Oh Oh Oh
Restart, Restart, Oh Oh Oh
I was lost, I was fallin' apart
But You came along, and You hit the restart
[Bridge:]
You make all things new
That's just what You do
You're making me new
