Words & Music by Richard Mullen & Jack Richards
Recorded by the McGuire Sisters, 1955



G                 Bm               C      G
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea;

Am            Em              Am    B7
He alone decides who writes a symphony.

C                Cm                  G  Bm    Em
He lights ev'ry star that makes the darkness bright,

D7                   Bm                  Am       D7
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.


G                   Em             Am7           D7
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer;

Am7              D7               G9          G
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there.

Gdim                 Cm             G  G/F#  Bm
Though it makes him sad to see the way  we  live,

             Am  D7       G
He'll always say "I forgive."



G               Bm             C           G
He can grant a wish or make a dream come true; 

Am                Em                  Am      B7
He can paint the clouds and turn the gray to blue. 

C               Cm                G      Bm    Em
He alone knows where to find the rain - bow's end,

D7           Bm               Am       D7
He alone can see what lies beyond the end.

G                 Em               Am7        D7
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold;

Am7            D7               G9        G
He knows every lie that you and I have told.

Gdim                 Cm            G   G/F#  Em
Though it makes him sad to see the way  we  live,

            Am 7 D7      G       G/F#     
He'll always say "I forgive,

 C  Cdim   G
"I  for - give."
