"he" song lyrics

This is a very old Christian song and I am looking for the lyrics and who recorded it. It starts off as follows:

He can turn the tide or calm the angry sea.
He alone decides who writes a symphony.

I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks!!!

By: Richard Mullen

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.

Thanks Jaki for your response. I have not only been looking for the lyrics for this song; but I haven't found a downloadable version of it on the music sites.

My grandmother used to sing this sone to me when I was a little girl. I remember that she had it on sheet music which, of course, has been long lost.

At least I still remember to tune...so thanks again!

I have an oldies CD that has this-it was recorded by The McGuire Sisters in 1955. Written by Richard Mullen/Jack Richards. Thanks for the lyrics--lovely song!

He can turn the tide or 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 calll and always find him there.

refrain: 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 ev'ry lie that you and I have told.

refrain: Though it makes him sad to see the way we live, He'll always say, "I Forgive".
