Over and Over

lyricist: Ballington Booth, 1898
Composer: Ballington Booth

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.

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.

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;
