Text:The Great Speckled Bird
Tune:[What a beautiful thought I am thinking]
Arranger:Albert E. Brumley

4. The Great Speckled Bird

1. 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.

2. There are many who'd lower her standards,
And they watch ev'ry move that she makes;
They just want to find fault with her teachings,
Tho' they search, they can find no mistakes.

3. When He comes on a cloud in the morning,
And His voice 'round the earth shall be heard;
O, I want to be ready to meet Him,
And go up on that Great Speckled Bird.
