He

He can turn the tides
And calm the angry sea.
He alone decides
Who writes a symphony.
He lights ev'ry 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 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.

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

Lyrics by Tammy Wynette
Richard Mullan - James Richard

This is a lovely song which Elder Freddie Boey introduced in Riverlife Church. It's an old Christian song.. Apparently, quite a number of people know about this song.. Good good.. This song has quite correctly described the character of our God who is One without ability to sin, He hates sin and yet He is also a loving Heavenly Father.. :)

How do we then reconcile that? Through the perfect sacrifice of His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ who died on the Cross, and by virtue of His finished work at Calvary that we could then be reconciled back to God, cleansed of all our unrighteousness by the blood of the Sacrificial Lamb of God.
