Lyrics

Over and over I stood upon the shore;
Over and over I said I would doubt no more;
But as the sea came rolling in,
In boundless waves that cleanse from sin,
I doubted their saving power.

Refrain

Over and over, like a mighty sea,
Comes the love of Je­sus,
Rolling over me.

Over and over I’ve heard my Sav­ior’s voice;
Over and over He said, Make Me your choice;
Now face the waves and tread the sea,
Look up in faith and follow Me
;
I answered, I’ll prove their power.

Refrain

Over and over I’ll sing this glo­ri­ous song,
Over and over before the gathering throng;
How o’er my heart the sea prevailed,
And how His love has ne­ver failed,
For ever I’ll trust His power;

Refrain
