The Great Speckled Bird — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

What a beautiful thought I am thinking concerning the great speckled bird
And to know that my name is recorded on the pages of God`s holy word
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
[ guitar ]
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
And when he come up 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 speckled bird
