Thank You

Thank You For Giving To The Lord
by Ray Boltz

I dreamed I went to Heaven, you were there with me.
We walked upon the streets of gold beside the Crystal Sea.
We heard the angels singing, then someone called your name.
You turned and saw this young man, and he was smiling as he came.
He said, "Friend you may not know me now," and then he said, "But wait - You used to teach my Sunday School, when I was only eight.
And every week you would say a prayer before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."
Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
Then another man stood before you, he said "Remember the time, A missionary came to your church, His pictures made you cry. You didn't have much money but you gave it anyway.
Jesus took that gift you gave
And that's why I'm in Heaven today"
Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
One by one they came, far as your eyes could see.
Each life somehow touched by your generosity.
Little things that you had done, sacrifices that you made, They were unnoticed on this earth
In Heaven now proclaimed.
Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed. Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
And I know up in Heaven you're not supposed to cry But I am almost sure there were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand and you stood before the Lord He said "My child look around you,
Great is your reward."
Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed. Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am so glad you gave,
I am so glad you gave.
