When troubles surround us, when evils come The body grows weak and 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 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 Noah had drifted on the flood many days He searched for land in various ways Troubles, he had some, but was not forgotten He sent down His love on the wings of a dove Chorus Guitar break 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 dove Chorus
