Lyrics Great Speckled Bird (4 false starts, chatter & take 1) - Jerry Lee Lewis
What
a
beautiful
thought
I
am
thinking
Concerning
a
great
speckled
bird
Remember
her
name
is
recorded
On
the
pages
of
God's
Holy
Word.
All
the
other
birds
are
flocking
'round
her
And
she
is
despised
by
the
squad
But
the
great
speckled
bird
in
the
Bible
Is
one
with
the
great
church
of
God.
All
the
other
churches
are
against
her
They
envy
her
glory
and
fame
They
hate
her
because
she
is
chosen
And
has
not
denied
Jesus'
name.
Desiring
to
lower
her
standard
They
watch
every
move
that
she
makes
They
long
to
find
fault
with
her
teachings
But
really
they
find
no
mistake.
She
is
spreading
her
wings
for
a
journey
She's
going
to
leave
by
and
by
When
the
trumpet
shall
sound
in
the
morning
She'll
rise
and
go
up
in
the
sky.
In
the
presence
of
all
her
despisers
With
a
song
never
uttered
before
She
will
rise
and
be
gone
in
a
moment
Till
the
great
tribulation
is
o'er.
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
Savior
to
look.
When
He
cometh
descending
from
heaven
On
the
cloud
that
He
writes
in
His
Word
I'll
be
joyfully
carried
to
meet
Him
On
the
wings
of
that
great
speckled
bird.
