"Wings of a Dove" is a favorite; glad that he was inducted into the Country Music HOF (2010) before he died.

I remember hearing Ferlin on a little transistor radio (in the dark, when I could pick-up the station) as a kid.

I can still hear his voice singing that great Bob Ferguson tune, 'Wings of a Dove'

"When trouble surrounds us; and evil comes
The body grows weak; the spirit grows numb
When these things beset us; He doesn't forget us
He sends down His love; ...on the wings of a dove.... "

Bought "Wings of a Dove" on a 45 when I was around five years old and practically wore the thing out playing it so much.
RIP, Ferlin
