The Great Speckled Bird

Cat. #0635 (MFH #229) - As sung by Paralee Weddington, Busch, Arkansas on March 7, 1968

VERSE 1
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning th great Speckled Bird
Remember her name is recorded
On th pages of Gods Holy Word

VERSE 2
Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault to her teaching
But really they find no mistake

VERSE 3
I'm glad I have learned of her meekness
I'm proud of my names in th book
For I want to be one never fearing
On th face of my Saviour to look

VERSE 4
When He cometh descending from Heaven
On th clouds, as He writes in His Words
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On th wings of th great Speckled Bird
