The Oar

The Oar

V1
His amazing power
I looked for high and low
all around the farm
by the river where I'd go...
I longed for his love
to put my arms around
and when I stepped aside
this is what I found....

Chorus:

He is the oar
that rows my boat ashore...
He is the wind
that blows me safe to port...
He is the roar
of courage when I need more...
He is the oar
that rows my boat ashore.

V2

His true forgiveness
I sought when I prayed..
Now I'm on my knees
and I'm prayin' every day...
I longed for peace
and nights of needed rest...
And when I gave my heart
He gave me back his best...

Repeat Chorus:

Close:
He is a lot of things for sure
but more and more...
He is the oar that rows my boat ashore...

^ He is The Oar (say this)
