As I sat beside the ocean The old song came to me "There's a wideness to God's mercy. Like the wideness of the sea." As I watched the waves come rolling. Never ending, never still; So God's mercies roll upon those Who strive to do this will. Tho we say we see the ocean Human eye ne'er sees it all. So God's wonderous love and mercy Is more than enough for all. But sometimes a rock, upstanding Parts the waters as they come. Breaks the smooth incoming current, Throws it back in seething foam. So our human wills set, stubborn In defiance of this plan Breaks the steady flow of blessings God would gladly sent to man Let us then keep our wills humble. Always try his will to see. When all wills are all then submissive Earth a paradise will be. |
