He can turn the tides
And calm the angry sea
He alone decides
Who writes a symphony

He lights every star
That makes the 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 calls
And always finds him there

Though it makes him sad
To see the way we live
He'll always say, I forgive

He can grant a wish
Or make a dream come true
He can paint the clouds
And turn the gray to blue

He, alone, knows where
To find the rainbow's end
He, alone, can see
What lies beyond the bend

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 forgive
(I forgive, I forgive)
He'll always say, I forgive
