Song Story:  THE  LYRICS: 

So many times I've heard, "oh, it was just a squirrel" on the side of the road.
Or "oh, it's just a dove" when someone was hoping to see a fluttering bluebird. Or
"Oh, it was just a child..."
Sort of like when we go alone to a restaurant and are asked by the greeter, "Just one?"
I love the peacefulness of doves. They never attack others on my feeding station.
If I could have just one kind of bird... It would be the humble ordinary dove.
And our God never says of any bird, squirrel, or person, "Oh that's just....... "
Dedicated to our Amazing Creator Who inspired Psalm 139, on 4 April 2013.

Doves are just (dirty) /  (pigeons)," __ (some say). __

God de- signed __ /  sac- ri- fice  _
as a way to   /  make things right __
be- tween us and / Him when we sinned 
so we could (be for-)  /  (given) and re- stored
back to Him _  /   (only)  one way __
through the blood (of an-) /mals God loved. __
CHORUS 2
    DOVES, LAMBS, MORE _ /  THAT GOD MADE __ 
    HAD GREAT (VALUE), re- / (storing) (us to) God. __
    Each life (sacri-) (ficed was) / (never) (just a) use- less
    (ani-) mal  __ to  / God. __ __ __

Now as then __ /  people put  _
dif- f'rent (values) on /  dif- f'rent (people). __
God does not, ( for He)   /  loves each one. __
He loved YOU (when he) / sent His Son  __
so you could (be made)  /  (righteous) and re- stored
back to Him (thru the) /   (only)  one way: __
through the blood (of Je-) /sus, (who He) loved. __
CHORUS 3
    EACH PERSON _ /  THAT GOD MADE __ 
    HAS GREAT (VALUE), (so for) / us,  God gave __
    His Son's Life. There's / (never) (just a) use- less
    per- son __ to  / God. __ __ __

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:

Hebrews 10: 10-12     CLICK HERE for link:
10 "For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the 

body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. 11 Under the old covenant, 

the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the 

same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.  12 But our 

 High Priest [JESUS]  offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, 

good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand." NLT

James 1:5      CLICK HERE for link:
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." -- PROVIDED BECAUSE IT'S ADMITTEDLY
HARD TO UNDERSTAND the system of sacrifices.... To remind us to TRUST God.
