Text: Sonny James. He.

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone besides what's best for you and me
He lights every star that makes a 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
Oh, it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say I forgive

He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Oh, it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say I forgive
