Great Speckled Bird Lyrics

Great Speckled Bird lyrics

1.What a beautiful thought I amthinking



Concerning a great speckledbird



Remember her name is recorded



On thepages of God's Holy Word.







2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her



And she is despised by the squad



But the great speckled bird in the Bible



Is one with the great church of God.







3. All the other churches are against her



They envy her glory and fame



They hate her because she is chosen



And has not denied Jesus' name.







4. Desiring to lower her standard



They watch every move that she makes



They long to find fault with her teachings



But really they find no mistake.







5. She is spreading her wings for a journey



She's going to leave by and by



When the trumpet shall sound in the morning



She'll rise and go up in the sky.







6. In the presence of all her despisers



With a song never uttered before



She will rise and be gone in a moment



Till the great tribulation is o'er.







7. I am glad I have learned of her meekness



I am proud that my name is on her book



For I want to be one never fearing



The face of my Savior to look.







8. When He cometh descending from heaven



On the cloud that He writes in His Word



I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him



On the wings of that great speckled bird.
