Raven Dove - Dolly Parton

There will come a day when sorrow fades away,

And anguish and heartache shall ease,

No mothers cryin', no soldiers dyin',

And turmoil and misery shall cease.

The hungry shall be fed, the aimless shall be led

And sad eyes will no longer weep,

The last shall be first, through heaven he’ll burst

With his heavenly host from the East

Weapons to plowshares, hate turns to love,

Descending from heaven he’ll sweep down to us

In radiant splendor;

oh, won’t it be sweet

When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace

(Raven dove)

Oh, there will come a day when I’ll fly away

Forever to be in his keep

Eternal life in the sweet by and by

When raven dove, raven dove speaks

When lambs walk with lions, a child tames the beast

Nations shall gather and bow at his feet

And loved ones shall rise up from their earthly sleep

And he’ll separate all the chaff from the wheat.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, how sweet

When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace

Raven dove, behold he cometh in the clouds

And every eye shall see him

Sweet bird, sweet bird of peace

Raven Dove
