Great Speckled Bird Lyrics - The Browns

(by Roy Acuff) 

What a beautiful thought I am thinking concerning a great speckled bird 

Remember her name is recorded on the pages of Gods' Holy Word 

With all the other birds flocking round her, she is so despised by the squad 

The Great Speckled Bird is the Bible representing the Great Church of God 

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 

I am glad I have learned of her meekness I am proud that my name is on her book 

For I want to be one never fearing the face of my Saviour's true love 

When he cometh descending from heaven on the clouds as he writes in his words 

I'll be joyfully carried to meet him on the wings of that great speckled bird
