I found some words for Great Speckled Bird.
It's been around for some time and different folks sing it a little differently.
This is based on
Jeremiah 12:9 from the KJV. Other versions have a different reading. Here is the KJV:
"Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her;"
Great Speckled Bird
1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning that great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.
2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her
She is so despised by the squad
The great speckled bird in the Bible
Representing that great church of God.
3. I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
On the face of my Savior to look.
4. All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied Jesus' name.
5. Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.
6. She is spreading her wings for a journey
She's going to take by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She will rise and go up in the sky.
7. In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is o'er.
8. When He cometh descending from heaven
On the clouds as He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.
