VERSE:
A                            D
What a beautiful though I am thinking
E                            A
Concerning the great speckle bird
A                           D
And to know that my name is recorded
D      E                   A
On the pages of God's holy word

VERSE:
Desiring to lower her standards
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teaching
But really she makes no mistakes

VERSE:
I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am glad that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Saviour to look

VERSE:
And when he cometh descending from Heaven
On a cloud like he said in his word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet him
On the wings of the great speckle bird
