"The Dove"

Dove

A gentle Dove was sent to us
to teach us love and peace.
Who, with His wings, enfolded us
so sins and tears would cease.

A pure white Dove who touched our hearts
with soft and tender wings,
fluttered sweetly on the wind
and taught us many things.

If we had felt His tender touch,
and listened to the wind,
the branches that He loved so much
may not have had to bend.

The tree that held Him in its care
by hateful gales was tossed.
It's fruit was lost ... it's branches bare
were turned into a cross.

The Dove was stained with crimson red ...
wings spread wide and aching.
With prints of blood where He had tread ...
His heart ... pierced and breaking.

This gentle One, to us He came
on peaceful wings of love.
Who, bleeding for our sins, became ...
a broken ... wounded Dove.
