Hank Locklin - 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 God's holy word.

Desiring to lower her standards

They watch every move that she makes

They long to find fault with her teaching

But really they find no mistakes.

(On the wings of the great speckled bird, great speckled bird.)

Oh, I'm glad I have learned of her meekness

And I'm glad that my name's on her book

For I want to be one never fearing the face

Of my Saviour's through look.

When he comes descending from heaven

On a cloud as he writes in his word

I'll be joyfully carried to meet him

On the wings of the great speckled bird...
