Thank You (For Giving To the Lord)
I dreamed I went to Heaven and 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
We turned and saw this young man, and he was smiling as he came
And 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"
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
There I stood before you, and said, "Remember the time
You heard that I was very sick? They said that I might die
You didn't have much money, but you gave it anyway
Jesus took the prayers 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, far as the eye could see
Each life, somehow, touched by your generosity
Little things that you had done, sacrifices made
Unnoticed on the Earth, in Heaven, now proclaimed
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 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
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
We walked upon the streets of gold, beside the crystal sea
We heard the angels singing, then someone called your name
We turned and saw this young man, and he was smiling as he came
And 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"
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
There I stood before you, and said, "Remember the time

Thank you for giving to the Lord

Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
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
