THE GREAT SPECKLED BIRD
Recorded by Roy Acuff

Words and music by (Reverend) Guy Smith

[Verse 1]

G C
What a beautiful thought I am thinking

C D G
Concerning a great speckled bird

G C
Remember her name is recorded

C D G
On the pages of God's Holy Word.

[Verse 2]

G C
All the other birds are flocking 'round her

C D G
And she is despised by the squad

G C
But the great speckled bird in the Bible

C D G
Is one with the great church of God.

[Verse 3]

G C
All the other churches are against her

C D G
They envy her glory and fame

G C
They hate her because she is chosen

C D G
And has not denied Jesus' name.

[Verse 4]

G C
Desiring to lower her standard

C D G
They watch every move that she makes

G C
They long to find fault with her teachings

C D G
But really they find no mistake.

[Verse 5]

G C
She is spreading her wings for a journey

C D G
She's going to leave by and by

G C
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning

C D G
She'll rise and go up in the sky.

[Verse 6]

G C
In the presence of all her despisers

C D G
With a song never uttered before

G C
She will rise and be gone in a moment

C D G
Till the great tribulation is o'er.
