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.

Refrain:
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.

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