Tommy Collins – Great Speckled Bird lyrics

What a beautiful thought I am thinking concerning the great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded on the pages of pure shining gold
All the other birds flock around her she is so despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible is one with the great church of God
She is spreading her wings for a journey that she's going to meet by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning she will rise and go up in the sky
[ guitar ]
Oh I am glad I have learned of her meekness
Oh I'm glad that my name's on the book
For I want to be one never fearing on the face of my Saviour to look
When he comes descending from heaven on the cloud as he write in his word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet him on the wings of the great speckled bird
