Promise of the Dove

We find ourselves in the garden continually
Searching for the answer, connecting to the divine
Seeking to know our answers of who we are spiritually
Relishing in knowing the truth, the sublime

We fill our soul and heart with transgressions
That falls from the grace of goodness and hope
To find our heavenly father - our confession
To forgive remorseful deeds on our slippery slope

Giving us our strength, and footing to stand firmly
In our beliefs, our faith and our love
To be kind to one another and compassionately
Carry our Father in Heaven’s spirit on the wings of the dove
