Thank You
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
Someone called your name
You turned and saw this young man
And he was smiling as he came (he said)
And he said, "Friend, you may not know me now," (but he said)
Then he said, "But wait. (Sunday school)
You used to teach my Sunday school
When I was only eight (say a prayer)
And every week you would say a prayer (before we'd start)
Before the class would start (you touched my heart)
And one day when you said that prayer (you said that prayer)
I felt Jesus touch my heart (Jesus touch my heart)
Thank you for giving to the Lord (thank you, thank you for giving to the Lord)
I am a life that was changed (I am a life that has been changed)
Thank you for giving to the Lord (thank you, thank you for giving to the Lord)
I am so glad you gave (you gave your love, you gave your love)
Then another stood before you
And said, "Remember the time (you heard the call)
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry? (made you cry)
You didn't have much money, but you gave it anyway. (and I'm here to say)
Jesus took the gift you gave (here today and I thank you Lord)
And that is why I'm here today. (and I thank you Lord, and I want to thank you Lord)
Thank you for giving to the Lord (I want to thank you, I want to thank you, I am a life)
For I am a life that was changed (I have just been changed, I will rejoice in you)
Thank you for giving to the Lord (I want to thank you, I want to thank you, I am so glad)
I am so glad you gave
One by one they came (and you could see)
As far as the eye could see
Each life somehow touched by your generosity (little things)
Little things that you had done (sacrifice)
Sacrifices made
All unnoticed on the earth (Heaven proclaims)
But Heaven now proclaims
(Up in Heaven) And I know up in Heaven
You're not supposed to cry (I saw tears in)
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." (great is your reward)
Repeat Chorus (with backgrounds from 1 and 2)
Thank you for giving to the Lord (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)
I am so glad you gave (you gave)
I am so glad you gave
Thank you
You were there with me
We walked upon the streets of gold beside the crystal sea

Thank you
