Great Speckled Bird

1 4
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
5 1
Concerning a great speckled bird
4
Remember her name is recorded
5 1
On the pages of God’s Holy Word

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

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 the Savior to look

When Christ cometh 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
On the wings of the great speckled bird
