Lucinda Williams Lyrics for Song: Great Speckled Bird
 Lyrics for Album: Ramblin' [1992]
 
 
 
 23052>1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
 
 
 
 Con-cerning a great speckled bird
 
 
 
 Remember her name is re-corded
 
 
 
 On the pages 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.
