Thank You for Giving to The LORD

I dreamed I went to Heaven
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
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
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 that gift you gave
And that's why I'm in Heaven today"

Repeat Chorus

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 this 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."

Repeat Chorus

I am so glad you gave.

* Album : The Concert Of A Lifetime *

This is a Christian song. On the CD sleeve, he wrote this before the lyrics: "When Georgia Richardson asked me to write a song for Pastor Appreciation Day, I never knew it would change my life. This simple chorus was my way of thanking the people we so often forget but who are so very, very important to the Kingdom of God." Ray Boltz
