_ _ _ _ Someone someone listened to her on the new tape and they said well we know who your replacement is
I _ _ [D] _
think she does a great job a wonderful job
[F] It's just a [E] special night for [G] us
_ _ [F] especially
clodhopper in me
_ [E] You know that song that said I've come too far to look [D] back or go back if I went back
I would never find another clodhopper.
You know that _ _
_ So I'll just keep going on _ because [G] I know [E] the best is yet to [G] come _ _ _
Several [Fm] years ago.
I heard [Cm] a message on the [E] tape.
Someone gave me a tape and
_ _ On the bus, that's what I do
I'll listen to tapes or I'll read books and listen or listen to good messages and _
[Cm] this
_ Evangelist was [F] preaching on the [C] dove _ _ and of course he was preaching [Bb] from Genesis the Noah and the ark and the flood and
_ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] He said that _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Noah sent out the dove and when the dove came back
_ He knew that the [F] waters had not abated because [Gb] the Bible says that the dove found not a place to [A] set its feet
the Bible also says there was a raven that went to and fro from the ark and
_ You know, I'm from over in the country from the farm
And I know that the raven is part of the crow family and I know that he will eat anything [F] in the world
Makes no [B] difference what it is.
He'll just [Bb] go down and eat it
But anyway
[Gm] Noah sent the dove out again in [F] seven days and when the dove came back this time it had an olive branch in its mouth [G] and _ _ _
I shared this with Ronnie Henson
The great songwriter of the lighthouse and several songs and he called me about ten days later and he said Connie
He said I have researched [C] the dove and I found out that the dove will fly to its death
Before it will land on anything that is [F] impure
So _ when Noah sent that dove out again in another seven days
It did not come back and that evangelist said that that dove started flying [Em] and he flew over Exodus
He [N] flew over Leviticus.
He flew over numbers.
He flew over
Isaiah and Daniel and all the prophets he flew over Malachi
He flew over the 400 silent years and one day when John the Baptist was out in the Jordan River
Baptizing Jesus that dove found purity _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ Ron you wrote it in a brand new [Am] song and I believe it'll bless your heart tonight.
[F] We'll listen to [Bb] every word of the dove _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ the earth was _ _ _
Corrupted so [B] God _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _
Interrupted
[Fm] _ _ _ He [Cm] had
_ Repented _
_ [F] _ _ [Eb] Of all [Dm] he had made
[Gm] _ _
_ [G] _ Well, they [F] know
_ [Bb] With [F] summer _
_ [G] _ _ The [Abm] flood was [G] soon [Bb] coming _
_ [F] _ When [Gm] all that [F] was [C] breathing _
_ [F] _ _ Would be _ [Bb] washed _ away
_ [Gb] _ _ _ In [B] desperate manner
[Ebm] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [C] The saws [Dbm] and the _ _ [E]
hammers [Gb] _ _ _ work day [Dbm] and night _ _

_ _ _ [Abm] _
He [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
[B] pleaded with [Ebm] sinners _
_ [Abm] _ _ [C] It's finished [Dbm] now
_ _ [E] _ _
_ [Gb] _ Then [E] God [Gb] shut the _ [Dbm] door _
_ [Gb] _ _ They drown [B] in the _ dog
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _
And _ _ _ [B] after [A] the _ floods Swell
[B] _ _ _ No
_ [Gbm] _ _ _ [A] decided
_ [B] _ _ [Bm] To look [Abm] for dry [Dbm] land
_ [Gbm] _ So [B] he opened _ [E] the [Ebm] way _
_ [Dbm] _ His [F] _
face [Gbm] felt the _ [E] Sun [B] glow
Then [A] he plumbed the [B] dove sky
[Gbm] _ _ [B] word
_ Right out [E] of his hand _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ months with [F] no sign [E] of _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gb] That one [Gm] little white [Dm] dove
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] No, I [C] thought _ God had _ _ _ _
Completed [Am] his _ [Dm] plan.
_ [Gm] Oh
[Bb] He saw [F] the rainbow
[Am] _ _
