Canton Spirituals Morning Dove Lyrics

Lord you been so
So good to me
Lord I don't know
What I would do
But if I had wings
Ooh like a morning dove
Do y'all know I'd fly away
All of my trouble would be all over with
And I would just be at rest
Yes I would
Be at rest
Sometimes daddy would look up
And say Lord you brought me
Hey you brought me from a mighty long way
Hey you watched over me Jesus
Not just one day but you
You watched over me
Every day, yes you did
And if I had wings
Ooh like a morning dove

Fly away
I won't have to worry about what folks say about me no more
And then I'll just be at rest Yes I would
Be at rest
Just one more thing
Lord you been so

Lord I know you been good to me
Oh Lord you done fought so much for me Jesus
And if you leave me I don't know what I, what I would do
Sometimes I feel like daddy
If I had wings
If I had just had me wings like a morning down
I'd just spread my wings
Fly away
I'd just fly away, fly away, fly away
And I'd be
(Repeat be at rest)
Yes I would Lord
Yes I would y'all
Yes I would y'all
Don't it get lonely sometimes
I said don't it get lonely sometimes
And ooh
God bless you
Yes I would
