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 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 a 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"
