The Dove Is a Special Bird

By: Irvin L. Rozier, Fri Dec 9th, 2005 05:56:49 PM

Noah had floated on the water for many nights and days

Finally the rain stopped and Noah basked in the sun's rays

While on top of mount Ararat Noah surveyed the land

As far as he could see everything was desolate and bland

At the end of forty days Noah sent forth a black raven

That went to and fro while Noah waited in the ark's haven

He also sent forth a dove that returned unto the ark

Because she had found no place for her feet to park

After seven more days he sent the dove out again

She flew swiftly over the previous places she had been

This time she came back to Noah bringing an olive leaf

A glorious sign of new beginnings to relieve Noah's grief

Can you imagine witnessing the destruction of the whole earth

And then seeing this sign from heaven of life's new birth

God then told faithful Noah to go forth be fruitful and multiply

As He said to him I will be with you and all your needs supply

Many wearisome years passed after Noah and this great event

Then one happy day another special dove from heaven was sent

It was the Spirit of God in the form of a snow white dove

And it descended upon Jesus as another sign from God above

John said behold the Lamb of God who takes away all sin

This historic event was witnessed by many women and men

The dove was created by God for this special purpose

Jesus came and gave his life on the cross for all of us
