Subject: Lyr Add: THE GREAT SPECKLED BIRD (Rev. Guy Smith) From: Amos Date: 21 Apr 00 - 07:57 PM For reasons I can't find, the term "great speckled bird" was historically used in Christian metaphor to represent the Christian church on earth, conceived as the "bride" of Christ. The complete song goes: The Great Speckled Bird What a beautiful thought I am thinking Desiring to lower her standards I am glad I have learned of her meekness When He cometh descending from heaven © Universal Dutchess Music Corp.

Subject: Who/what is THE GREAT SPECKLED BIRD? From: Banjer Date: 21 Apr 00 - 07:28 PM I may have asked this a couple of years ago, but still have no good answer. Given all the new 'faces' in the forum let's throw the question out again and see what comes of it. What a beautiful thought I am thinking Concerning the Great Speckled Bird Further into the song reference is made to "Desiring to lower Her Standards", giving the entity a female reference. How do YOU interpret this wonderful old standard? Or is it meant to be one of the mysteries of life? What is the Great Speckled Bird?? |
