Lyrics
Psalm 56 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 for a sign of hope
though it seems
peace is but a dream
about as far away as
a dove in distant oaks
This I know God is for me
This one thing I know
In God alone I have put my trust
And I shall not be afraid
What can mortal man do
What can mortal man do to me?
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 for a sign of hope
though it seems
peace is but a dream
about as far away
as a dove in distant oaks
though it seems
peace is but a dream
about as far away
as a dove in distant oaks
