This morning as I sip hot tea
There’s something lovely that I see
Outside my window there it sits
A peaceful dove upon the fence
This dove begins his day anew
So very similar to me and you
He coos and coos to his heart’s content
His music no doubt is heaven sent
He sings his special song of praise
His voice to heaven above does raise
The dove appears to have no worries
But begins each day and does not hurry
He has no knowledge of worldly cares
His heavenly song is what he shares
Oh that we each learn from the dove
Take time to sing and feel God’s love
Take time to sit just like the dove
Be thankful for God’s endless love
Take time to help those on your way
Whose hearts are burdened at break of day
Put a song in your heart and share it today
So that others will know there’s joy on the way
Thank God for the dove who sits on my fence
For reminding me he’s heaven-sent
To brighten my day and give me peace
To know that God’s love will never cease.
