The Singing Cookes Lyrics
"He Rows Me Over The Tide"

1.)WHEN OLD STEVEN WAS ACCUSED, LONELY AND BEWILDERED
NO ONE THAT DAY WOULD STAND BY HIS SIDE.
SO HE JUST LOOKED INTO THE HEAVENS
AND HE SAW THE FACE OF JESUS.
AND IT ROLLED HIM OVER THE TIDE.

(chorus)AND I NEVER SAID A PRAYER THAT HE COULDN'T ANSWER
AND I NEVER SHED A TEAR THAT HE COULD NOT DRY.
NOW WHEN THE WAVES OF LIFE ARE SO HIGH THAT YOU CAN'T
MOUNT THEM I KNOW HE'LL ROLL ME OVER THE TIDE.

2.)NOW WHEN THE WORLD IS CLOSING IN AND LIFE BECOMES A BURDEN.
I WANT TO RUN, BUT THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE.
SO I JUST LOOK LIKE OLD STEVEN TO THE RIGHT HAND
OF MY FATHER AND HE'LL ROLL ME OVER THE TIDE.
