  • On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure sweet love
    A sign from above (sign from above)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

    When troubles surround us
    When evils come
    The body grows weak (body grows weak)
    The spirit grows numb (spirit grows numb)
    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 (wings of a dove)

    On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure sweet love
    A sign from above (sign from above)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

    When noah had drifted
    On the flood many days
    He searched for land (he searched for land)
    In various ways (various ways)
    Troubles, he had some
    But wasn't forgotten
    He sent him His love (sent him His love)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

    On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure sweet love
    A sign from above (sign from above)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

    On the wings of a snow-white dove
    He sends His pure sweet love
    A sign from above (sign from above)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)
    On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove) Writer/s: Bob Ferguson
