Raven Dove Lyrics

Dolly Parton

There will come a day when sorrow fades away
And anguish and heartache shall ease
No mothers crying no soldiers dying
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 a radiant splendor oh won't it be sweet
When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
Raven dove (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 arom 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 (hallelujah) raven dove

Behold he cometh in the clouds and every eye shall see him
Sweet bird sweet bird of peace raven dove
