Great Speckled Bird
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember his name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word

The great speckled birds sits in splendor
All surrounded and by despised by the squad
The great speckled bird is the Bible
Representing the great church of God

When he comes, if he comes, I will greet him
On a cloud that is floating in the word
I will rise up, my savior, to meet Him
On the wings of a great speckled bird

And I am glad that I came to your meeting
I am glad that my name is of a bird
For I want to be one never fearing
In the arms of my savior's true love

And what a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning the great speckled bird
Remember his name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word
