Lyrics

Wings of a Dove

(verse) Unsettled as the ocean I am driven by the wind
In a vessel that is floating out to sea
In the doubt and the confusion, I am lost within the storm
and I waver like the waves on open sea

(chorus) Give me wings of a dove
that I might fly away into the shelter
of Your mighty arms
I am driftwood on the ocean, I am helpless on my own
Fearful of the water, won't You bring me home
on the wings of a dove

(verse) Rudderless and powerless, no anchor in the storm
the winds of doubt are twisting all the questions
The light on the horizon's an eternity away
and I am clinging to the truth of Your redemption

(chorus) Give me wings of a dove
that I might fly away into the shelter
of Your mighty arms
I am driftwood on the ocean, I am helpless on my own
Fearful of the water, won't You bring me home
on the wings of a dove

(verse) But I know that underneath it all, eternal as the sea
There's a current running silent in the deep
And the promise of surrender in the whisper in the wind
Is that letting go will bring me my release

(chorus) Give me wings of a dove
that I might fly away into the shelter
of Your mighty arms
I am driftwood on the ocean, I am helpless on my own
Fearful of the water, won't You bring me home
on the wings of a dove
