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"
