When troubles surround us, when evils come       The body grows weak and the spirit grows numb       When these things beset us, He won't forget us       He sends down His love on the wings of a dove          Chorus   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 he was not forgotten    He sent down His love on the wings of a dove       Chorus       Guitar break       When Jesus went down to the water that day    He was baptized in the usual way    And when it was done, God blessed his son    He sent down his love on the wings of dove       Chorus      Was a sign from above       On the wings of a dove
