Wings of a Dove
Husky Ferlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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)

Ferlin Husky was one of my parent's favorite singers. I grew up on Ferlin, Don Gibson, Johnny Horton, Patsy Cline, and so many more of these incredible artist's.

The day after my husband of 37 years passed away a dove came to my home...it has been almost 4 years now. That dove still comes to my back porch every morning and every evening. I know this is his spirit since I had not had a dove in my yard until that time.

It's a sign! I saw a Cardinal a few days after my husband passed, supposed to me he was watching out for me! God be with us both! Love you!

@PuppetGekido

What a beautiful comfort from the Lord!

The gospel is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Cor 15:1-4). The moment you believe the gospel you are saved, forever sealed by the Holy Spirit, and made a new creature in Christ. God bless whoever reads this!
