A great gospel song inspired by Peggy's father, Ted Mercer who often said that his boat paddle was made of wood, of the earth and that God is in everything, even the oar...Peggy Mercer loves gospel!

Story behind the song
Peggy often said that her father believed God is in the wind, earth and fire, everything from the earth, even his boat paddle or "oar"...she was thinking about this one day and has the oar that belonged to her father, so a truly inspired song.
Lyrics
The Oar By Peggy Mercer/John Richards (c) BMI 2012 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 later in my years 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)
