For the Wings of a Dove (Psalm 55) Lyrics

Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea

For the threats of the wicked bring down suff'ring on me"Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest

I would fly far away to the desert, hurry to my place of shelter, far from the storm"

If only insults from enemies or a foe rose against me

But you, my brother, my friend from the house of the Lord"Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest

I would fly far away to the desert, hurry to my place of shelter, far from the storm"

Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you

He will never let the righteous be shaken

I call to the Lord and He saves me. I cry out, He hears my voice

From the battle, unharmed, He rescues me

God, enthroned from old, Who does not change

Lyrics: Psalm 55

Music: David Norfrey
