The Great Speckled Bird

Lyrics

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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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 over
 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
 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
