Chorus (sung at beginning, and after each verse):
On the wings of a snow white dove, He sends his pure sweet love. A sign from above, On the wings of a dove. When troubles surround us, when evils come. The body grows weak, the spirit grows numb. When these things beset us,he doesn't forget us, he sends down his love, on the wings of a dove. When Noah had drifted on the flood many days, he searched for land in various ways. Troubles, he had some,but he wasn't forgotten, he sent him his love, on the wings of a dove. When Jesus went down to, the river that day, he was baptised in the usual way, and when it was done, God blessed his son, he sent him his love, on the wings of a dove. |
