1. 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.
Chorus:
Over and over,
(Over and over, over and over,)
Like a mighty sea, (mighty sea,)
(There) Comes the love of Jesus (the love of Jesus)
Rolling over me. (Rolling, rolling over me.)
2. Over and over I’ve heard my Savior’s voice,
Over and over He said, “Make me yo9ur choice;
Now face the waves and tread the sea,
Look up in faith and follow me;”
I answered, “I’ll prove their power.”
3. Over and over I’ll sing this glorious song,
Over and over Before the gath’ring throng;
How o’er my heart the sea prevailed,
And how his love has never failed,
Forever I’ll trust his power.
