He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea

He alone besides what's best for you and me

He lights every star that makes a 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

Oh it makes him sad to see the way we live he'll always say I forgive

[ choir ]

He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold

He knows every lie that you and I have told

Oh it makes him sad to see the way we live he'll always say I forgive
