The Great Speckled Bird

What a beautiful thought I am thinking,
Concerning the great speckled bird,
Remember her name is recorded,
On the pages of God's Holy Word.

All the other birds are flocking around her
And she is not loved by this world
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Represents the great Church of God.

All the other birds it seems are against her
They envy her glory and fame,
They are against her because she is chosen
And has never denied His dear name.

She is spreading her wings for a journey
That she's going to make by and by
When the great trumpet sounds in the morning
She will meet her dear Lord in the sky.

In the presence of all the others
With a song never heard before
She will use and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is over.

Oh I am glad I^ve learnt of a meeting,
Oh I am glad that my name's in the Book
For I want to be one never failing
On the face of my Saviour to look.

When He comes descending from heaven,
On the clouds as He rides on His way,
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.

She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation Is over.
