The Dove Returned

XiaoMin’s Canaan Hymn no. 546
Lyrics & Music by XiaoMing
Vocals by Li Shuangyan

Night comes, the dove returns,
 carrying a newly plucked olive leaf in her mouth.  
It represents hope.  It represents peace.  
It represents a revived age.  

We came over blood, came over tears.  
Big birds fly north and south, singing the love of the Lord.  
Today's China is no longer deserted.  
Look, grasses and trees are awakening everywhere.
