(Dolly Parton)
|
There will come a day when sorrow fades away,
|
And anguish and heartache shall ease,
|
No mothers cryin', no soldiers dyin',
|
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 radiant splendor; oh, won't it be sweet
|
When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
|
(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 from 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, behold he cometh in the clouds
|
And every eye shall see him
|
Sweet bird, sweet bird of peace
|
