1. He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea.
He alone decides who writes a symphony.
He lights every star that makes the 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."
2. He can grant a wish or make a dream come true;
He can paint the clouds and turn to gray to blue.
He alone knows 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
