Thank You

Ray Boltz

I dreamed I went to heaven

you were there with me

we walked along the streets of gold

beside the crystal sea

we heard the angels singing

then someone called your name

you turned and saw a young man

he was smiling as he came



he said friend, you may not know me now

but then he said but wait

you used to teach my sunday school

when I was only eight

every week you would say a prayer

before the class would start

one morning when you said that prayer

I asked Jesus in my heart



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

and 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 the gift you gave

and that's why I'm here today



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,

as far as the eye could see

each one somehow touched

by your generosity

little things that you had done, sacrifices made

unnoticed on the earth, heaven now proclaims

and I know up in heaven

that you're not supposed to cry

but I was almost sure

there were tears in your eyes

as Jesus took your hand

and you stood before the Lord

and He said my child look around you

for great is your reward



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

I am so glad you gave
