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
Saints or sinners call
and always find him there
Though it makes Him sad
to see the way we live
He'll always say: "I Forgive."
He will come to us
and heal our sinful soul
He alone can say
your sins I forgive you
He will light your way
and make your darkness bright
He keeps watch
all through the lonely years ahead
He still finds the time
to wipe our tears away
Saints or sinners
still He loves us all the same
Though it hurts Him much
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 grey to blue
He alone knows where
to hind 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."
