He can turn the tides
And calm the angry sea
He alone decides
Who writes a symphony
He lights every star
That makes our darkness bright
He keeps watch all through
Each long and lonely night
He still finds the time
To hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call
And always find Him there
Though it makes Him sad
To see the way we live
He'll always say
"I'll forgive"
He can touch a tree
And turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie
That you and I have told
Though it makes Him sad
To see the way we live
He'll always say
"I'll forgive, I'll forgive"
