Lyrics
A DOVE ON DISTANT OAKS
Lord be gracious to me
for men are in pursuit
they take delight in laying
traps before my feet
all day long they twist my words
they plot to do me harm
they scheme behind my back
intent to bring me down
as for me
i am a man of peace
searching far and wide
for signs of hope
though it seems
peace is but a dream
about as far away from here
as a dove in distant oaks
oh God have mercy on me
for i am in distress
my foes have tied the noose
that dangles round my neck
on no account let them escape
in anger foil their plans
reach out and rescue me
from falling in their hands
as for me
i am a man of peace
searching far and wide
for signs of hope
though it seems
peace is but a dream
about as far away
as a dove in distant oaks
about as far away from here
as a dove in distant oaks
