Great Speckled Bird
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
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.
Desiring to lower her standards
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.
I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is in the book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look.
When He cometh descending from heaven
On the clouds, as He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of the great speckled bird...
