Version 1 of the lyrics

1  What a beautiful thought I am thinking,   1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking 1
2  Concerning a great speckle bird.   Concerning a great speckled bird 2
3  Remember her name is recorded,   Remember her name is recorded 3
  On the pages of God's Holy Word.  On the pages of God's Holy Word.
      
4  With all the other birds      flocking 'round her,   2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her 4
5  She      is so despised by the squad.   And she is     despised by the squad 5
6  The      great speckle bird in the Bible,   But the great speckled bird in the Bible 6
7  Representing            the great church of God.   Is one with the great church of God. 7

8  Desiring to lower her standards,                      3. All the other churches are against her 8
9  They watch every move that she makes.   They envy her glory and fame         9
10  They long to find fault with her teachings,                    They hate                        her because she is chosen 10
11  But really they find no mistakes.   And has not denied Jesus' name. 11

12  I am glad I have learned of her meekness.   4. Desiring to lower                    her standard 12
13  I am proud       that my name is on her book.   They watch every move that she makes                     13
14  For I want to be one never fearing,              They long       to find fault with her teachings 14
15  The face of my Savior's true look.   But really they find no mistake.        15

16  When He cometh descending from heaven,                    5. She is spreading her wings for a journey 16
17  On the cloud that He writes in His Word.   She's going to leave by and by             17
18  I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him,            When the trumpet shall sound in the morning 18
4  On the wings of that great speckle bird.   4

19      In the presence of all her despisers,   6. In the presence of all her despisers 19
20  With a song never uttered before,   With a song never uttered before 20
21  She will rise and be gone in a moment,   She will rise and be gone in a moment 21
  Till the great tribulation is o'er.  Till the great tribulation is o'er.
      
22  What a wonderful word is recorded,                               7. I am glad I have learned of her meekness 22
23  By the prophet of God in His Word,              I am proud that my name is on her book 23
24  Of His church and all those who are faithful,   For I want to be one never fearing            24
25  And are like             to that great speckle bird.   The face of my Savior to look.                        25

26  I am longing the day of her coming.   8. When He cometh descending from heaven          26
27  When friends        that are gone I shall see,   On the cloud that He writes in His Word 27
28  In robes and a crown of bright glory,   I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him         28
29  They are waiting in heaven for me.          On the wings of that great speckled bird. 29
