Question
what is the name of the song with the words (on the wings
of a snow white dove I send my) this is being requested
for a funeral tomorrow?

Answer
Hello Judy,

That's "Wings Of A Dove". Originally recorded in 1960 by Ferlin Husky, there are other recordings by Cowboy Copas, Ernest Tubb, Charley Pride, Dolly Parton, Hal Ketchum, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Nanci Griffith, Billy Walker, Connie Smith, and Foster & Allen.


On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove

When troubles surround us
When evils come
The body grows weak
The spirit grows numb

When these things beset us
He doesnt forget us
He sends down His love
On the wings of a dove

When Noah had drifted
On the flood many days
He searched for land
In various ways

Troubles he had some
But he wasn't forgotten
He sent him His love
On the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow white dove
He sent his pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove


Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.
