Great Speckled Bird (78rpm Version)

What a beautiful thought I am thinking

Concerning a great speckled bird

Remember her name is recorded

On the pages of God's Holy Word.

With all the other birds are flocking 'round her'

She is so despised by the squad

But the great speckled bird in the Bible

Representing the great church of God.

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.

I am glad that 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 true love.

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.
