Great Speckled Bird
Wanda Jackson · Salutes The Country Music Hall Of Fame [1966]
(Roy Carter - Guy Smith)
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning the 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
But they long to find fault with her teaching
But really they find no mistakes
--- Instrumental ---
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 Saviour's true look.
When he comes descending from heaven
On the cloud as he writes in his word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet him
On the wings of the great speckled bird...
