1. WHEN OLD STEPHEN WAS ACCUSED, LONELY AND BEWILDERED. NO ONE THAT DAY WOULD STAND BY HIS SIDE. SO HE LOOKED IN TO HEAVEN AND HE SAW THE FACE OF JESUS AND HE ROLLED HIM OVER THE TIDE.

 

CHORUS
WELL I’VE NEVER SAID A PRAYER THAT HE COULD NOT ANSWER, AND I’VE NEVER SHED A TEAR THAT HE COULD NOT DRY. NOW WHEN THE WAVES OF LIFE ARE SO HIGH YOU CAN’T MOUNT THEM, THEN I KNOW HE’LL ROLL YOU OVER THE TIDE.

 

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