Marty Robbins - Great Speckled Bird lyrics

rate me

What a beautiful thought I am thinking<br />

Concerning a great speckled bird<br />

Remember her name is recorded<br />

On the pages of God's Holy Word.<br />

<br />

All the other birds are flocking 'round her<br />

She is despised by the squad<br />

But the great speckled bird in the Bible<br />

Representing the great church of God.<br />

<br />

All the other churches are against her<br />

They envy her glory and fame<br />

They hate her because she is chosen<br />

And has not denied Jesus' name.<br />

<br />

Desiring to lower her standard<br />

They watch every move that she makes<br />

They long to find fault with her teachings<br />

But really they find no mistake.<br />

<br />

She is spreading her wings for a journey<br />

She's going to leave by and by<br />

When the trumpet shall sound in the morning<br />

She'll rise and go up in the sky.<br />

<br />

In the presence of all her despisers<br />

With a song never uttered before<br />

She will rise and be gone in a moment<br />

Till the great tribulation is o'er.<br />

<br />

I am glad I have learned of her meekness<br />

I am proud that my name is on her book<br />

For I want to be one never fearing<br />

The face of my Savior true love.<br />

<br />

When He cometh descending from heaven<br />

On the cloud that He writes in His Word<br />

I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him<br />

On the wings of that great speckled bird...
