521.1 | | CRIME::PIKE | Saved by grace through faith in Jesus! | Tue Jul 12 1994 06:19 | 53 |
| 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
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 well
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 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 have
And that's why I am here 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 made
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.
(Chorus twice)

| Thanks Charly ... that's lovely - really *worth* its own topic. Brought
tears to my eyes. Now I can't see properly ... ;-}
God bless

The song is called "Thank You" which was written by Ray Boltz
and recorded on his 2nd album, I think.

The pastor at the church I used to attend sings that song
beautifully. One of the couples in the church had him
sing it at their wedding.

521.7 | Yep, I know that song | KAHALA::JOHNSON_L | Leslie Ann Johnson | Mon Jul 18 1994 16:49 | 10 |
| Acapella Kids has also recorded this song on an album. Its one of
our standard tapes we listen to in the car with the kids. We'd
just gotten the tape right around the time my mother was dying of
cancer. The first time I heard it was when I was driving between
my parent's home and my home to pick up a few things so I could stay
a few days at my parents - we were then doing round the clock sitting
with my Mom and holding her hands over the last few days. I cried
so hard I could barely drive. It still makes me cry.
