His Dove Descends

The deluge of the flood our race destroyed
Save those who were afloat on Noah’s Ark,
And when the flood abated God employed
A dove to bring His light to world once dark.

And now once more His dove to earth descends
On Son of God who to the world gives life–
Reveals to us the God who’s always been:
A Trinity of love who brings His light.

And now His light on world through Son will shine–
Redeems us all through Cross high on a hill,
And through an empty tomb brings us new wine
To make creation new as all He fills.

The dove from deluge past for us portends
A sinless new creation now begins.
