"SARAJEVO"

Verse 1
I've known people just like you,
Who work hard to build their dreams.
Then wake up & find their country
Unraveled at the seams.
I've traveled through the battlefields,
Been told to keep away
From minefields in the meadows
Where children used to play.
And there's a.

Chorus
White dove over Sarajevo,
Its song is raised for each captive's release.
It's calling to the hearts of all wherever they go
To surrender to the Prince of Peace,
And for everyone to live the Truth, that they know
The white dove over --Sarajevo.

Verse 2
This white dove is a treasure that can't be stolen,
No sudden-ending joy,
A guide to that great City,
Tanks & mortars can't destroy,
A Love for every broken heart
Friend for all who choose Him,
'Cause when you take my Jesus for your own,
You can never, ever lose Him.
His Spirit is the...

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3
Though you may live in peaceful times,
With everything you need,
There're questions running through your mind,
And your soul's just got to be freed.
I know that dove is calling you,
And with God's Love you can win
Sweet victory & peace from the war within.

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Interlude 2x]
