Don Edwards - 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 other birds flocking around her And she is despised by the squad But the great speckled bird in the Bible Is one with 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 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 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 On the face of my Savior to look When He cometh descending from heaven On a cloud like He writes in His Word I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him On the wings of that great speckled bird
