Thank You

Thank You!

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
and someone called your name
You 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."

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
and (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 the gift you gave
and that's why I'm in heaven today!"

Chorus

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 you made
(They were) 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."
