He can turn the tide

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

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 cloud

And turn the grey to blue

He alone knows where

To find the rainbows end

He alone will 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
