Wings Of A Dove
Nanci Griffith · Other Songs - Nanci Griffith
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends his pure sweet love
A sign from abouve- a sign from above
On the wings of a dove.
When trouble surrounds us
When evil's come
The body grows weak
The spirit grows strong
When these things beset us
He doesn't forget us
He sends down his love - sends down his love
On the wings of a dove
chorus
When noah had drifted
On the flood many days
He searched for land
In various ways
Troubles he had some
But wasn't forgotten
He sent down his love - sent down his love
On the wings of a dove
chorus 2x
