The Love of A Dove

[intro]
Soaring above bloody ashes,
Rising like love’s the only breath
That blooms like hope
Not doom in trope…

[verse 1]
Sparks of snark never heal, they only burn,
Barks of sharks never help, they only churn,
At the love
Of a dove.

[verse 2]
Preachers of vengeance dressed in light,
Call it justice, call it right,
But no bomb can bless a child,
In the womb of hate gone wild.

[chorus]
Raise your heart to peace, not war,
Blessed be the faith we’re fighting for,
Let mercy rise to bliss, let it prove
We dare to care for the love of a dove…

[bridge]
Why praise the wound, deny the tear?
Preaching for safe, by planting fear?
If truth is right, then we shall see
No holy blame can set us free.

[chorus, soaring]
Raise your heart to peace, not war,
Blessed be the faith we’re fighting for,
Let mercy rise to bliss, let it prove
We dare to care for the love of a dove.

[outro, gentle]
Let’s lay the anger in the dust.
Let’s be holy, return to trust...
And when they ask what we’re made of
Hum: “The love, the love of a dove.”
