Psalm 56:11-13
In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life.

The Song of the Dove Rising
Karen Holland ... 5-1-2007

The planting of the LORD
Oaks of righteousness, standing firm
Planted by the water, living water
Flowing, clear as crystal
Flowing the river of life
Flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

A dove on a distant oak
It's song rising, growing stronger day by day
Plantings of the Lord unveiled, revealed.

Righteousness coming into full bloom
As the earth bursts forth with flowers in the spring
As a garden cascades with blossoms
Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for sadness
Instead of heaviness, a garment of praise
Praise on display exploding before the nations.

The song of the dove rising
Rising
Blossoming into full bloom.

Song 2:14
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face, let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
