The Psalmistry

Original Music for the 150 Psalms


OH, THAT I HAD THE WINGS OF A DOVE (PSALM 55) (CCLI 4433149)

Oh, that I had the wings of a dove,
I would fly away, fly away.
Oh, that I had the wings of a dove,
I would fly away to God's love.

1. Listen to my prayer, O Lord, my God.
Hear You not my plea?
Take me in Your care, O Lord, my God.
Stop this agony.

2. If it were a foe attacking me:
that I could endure.
But it is my friend — . . .
a trust I thought secure.

3. I call upon Your help, O Lord, my God.
I cast my cares on You.
Only you sustain, O Lord, my God.
Only You are true.
