Here's an [E] old hymn that's been [Am] a favorite of mine [E] about as long as I can remember.
It was first introduced [A] by Roy Acuff some 40 years ago on the stage of [B] the Grand Ole
Opry.
We hope you enjoy our version of the [E] Great Speckled Bird.
_ _ _ What [E] a _ beautiful _ thought I am [A] thinking
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Concerning a great _ [E] speckled bird
_ _ _ _ _ Remember _ _ her name is [A] recorded
_ _ _ _ On [B] the pages of God's holy [E] _
words _ _ _ _ _ _
Desiring to lower [A] her standard
_ _ _ _ They [B] _
watch every move that she [E] _
makes
_ _ _ And they long to find fault with [A] her teachings
_ _ _ _ _ [B] But really they find no [E] mistake
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm glad I have learned _ [A] of her meekness
_ _ _ And [B] I'm proud that my name is [E] on her books
_ For _ I want to be one _ [A] never fearing
_ _ _ The [B] _
face of my _ Savior's [E] true love
_ _ _ _ When he _ cometh _ _ descending [A] from heaven
_ _ In [B] the clouds as he writes in [E] his Word
_ _ _ _ I'll be _ joyfully _ carried [A] to meet her
_ _ _ On [B] the wings of that great _ _ _
[E] speckled bird
