Subject: Lyr Add: WINGS OF A DOVE (variation)
Well, for closure I'm going to post the last song I mentioned. It was written by Bob Ferguson, but I've rearranged the words, changed some, & added the last verse myself.

WINGS OF A DOVE

On the wings of a snow-white dove,
God sends His pure, sweet love--
Sign from above, on the wings of a dove.

When Noah had drifted on the flood many days,
He searched for land in various ways.
The raven return-ed, with no place to land.
Then, God sent His love, on the wings of a dove.

On the wings of a snow-white dove...

When Jesus went down to the river that day,
He was baptized in the usual way.
And, when it was done, God blessed His Son.
He sent Him His love, on the wings of a dove.

On the wings of a snow-white dove...

When troubles surround us or sorrows come,
The body grows weak and the spirit grows numb.
When evil besets us, we are never alone.
Gods sends us His love, on the wings of a dove.

On the wings of a snow-white dove...

Counselor, Comforter, Teacher, and Friend,
Our seal of salvation, guarantee till life's end,
Gift of the Father--Holy Spirit of God--
Sent to each who believes, on the wings of a dove.

On the wings of a snow-white dove...(twice)

On the wings of a dove.
