Psalm 55:6
Oh that I had wings like a dove.
I would fly away and be at rest.
Behold I would wonder far away.
I would lodge in the wilderness.
I would hasten to my place of refuge
From the stormy wind and tempest.
In the twinkling of an eye
We will be changed
We will meet You in the sky Almighty
All the heavens and the earth will sing Your praise
And Your people will rejoice Almighty
