Descending Like a Dove

Once He washed our feet Now He has an exalted seat Once we crucified the Lord Now He is loved and adored Once we left Him on a cross Now He comforts our loss Once He sat with sinners Now He is the with winners Once He gave grace to us Now love is our greatest plus Once He forgave all sin Now a light shines deep within Once He raised them from death Now His hope lingers on the breath Once He sealed our souls in hope Now He teaches us how to cope Once He was a teacher of mercy Now He gives without controversy Once He knew our deepest regrets Now He forgives and even forgets Once He filled our hearts with joy Now He frees from all that will destroy Once He filled us with His spirit Now He assures us we need not fear it Once He was living here with us all Now He lives in heaven, never to fall Once He gave us His very best Now He assures us we are blessed Once He forgave us of all our sins Now He gives us courage that begins… With Him, our Hope, our heart, our grace The pure love that we will always embrace There is assurance, courage and a prayer That frees, fulfills and makes a way where There had been sadness and pain, mourning That lingered where Jesus would be adorning… With hope, faith and love – descending like a dove
