O, that I had wings like a dove ! For then I would fly away and be at rest. Ps. 55:6.

So then, there remains a rest for the people of God. Heb. 4:9.

Wings of a Dove

Yes, wings’d be nice !
But facing it, I’ve none ! !
That’s good, for when I’d feel escapist,
maybe I’d go to that which cannot satisfy
to solace jangled nerves.

You’ve thought of better, Lord !
For ‘there remains a rest for the people of God’ ! !

So let the dove go where it may,
I opt for rest in You !
