Graet Speckled Bird |
| 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. |
