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;
