Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song about an event that happened the day following my Mom's passing! I was standing at my back door when a white dove landed on the ground and just stood there looking at me. I felt a great sensation, and feeling of relief..

(v1)
Staring out the window looking out in the yard
Through the pain I was feeling from my broken heart
Momma was called to heaven just the day before
Just couldn?t find the answers I?d been searchin for
(c)
Then one white dove just landed softly on the ground
To deliver me the message God was sending down
(v2)
That snow white dove just stood there looked me in the eye
I just smiled, bowed my head I felt the pain subside
A peaceful easy feelin that I could not deny
When Jesus took me by the hand said everything?s alright
(c)
One white dove just landed softly on the ground
To deliver me the message God was sending down
A peaceful easy feelin that I could not deny
When Jesus took me by the hand said son everything?s alright
(ride)
(chorus)
One white dove just landed softly on the ground
To deliver me the message God was sending down
That peaceful easy feeling that I could not deny
When Jesus took me by the hand said son everything?s alright
