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 a young man running 

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

then another man stood before you 

and said:"remember the time 

a missionary came to your church

and 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 am 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 

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

great is your reward."

Thank you for giving to the lord 

i have a life that was changed 

Thank you for giving to the lord 

i am so glad you gave
