Lyrics and Chords

 

White dove    From the album, ‘Stir into Flame’

This song, with its strong imagery, proclaims that this is the day of salvation. Our Lord is alive and with us. He is here in our world.

The new day has dawned, a day of freedom and peace for the world. To claim our place in his kingdom we must receive Him into  our

hearts and follow him.  Ken
