Top Songs By Lucinda Williams
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What a beautiful thought I'm thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember his name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word
[Verse 2]
The great speckled bird sits in splendour
Oh, surrounded and despised by the squad
The great speckled bird is the Bible
Representing the great church of God
[Verse 3]
When He comes, if He comes, I will greet Him
On a cloud that is floating in the word
I will rise up my Saviour, to meet Him
On the wings of a great speckled bird
[Verse 4]
And I am glad that I came to your meeting
I'm glad that my name is of a bird
For I want to be one never fearing
In the arms of my Saviour's true love
[Verse 5]
And what a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning that great speckled bird
Remember his name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word
