Thank you for giving to the Lord

Thank You, originally sung by Ray Boltz, became an instant hit at Pentwater when it was performed by J at the campfire. (See also: Like a kid in a candy store)

Video:Ray Boltz - 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 these angels singing Then 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 said, "Remember the time A missionary came to your church And his pictures made you cry

You didnâ€™t have much money But you gave it anyway Jesus took the gift you gave And thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m here today"

(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

One by one they came Far as your eyes 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 that up in heaven Youâ€™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

(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

I am so glad you gave.
