  • I dreamed I went to heaven
    You were there with me
    We walked along the streets of gold
    Beside the crystal sea
    We heard the angels singing
    Then someone called your name
    You turned and saw a young man
    He was smiling as he came

    He said friend, you may not know me now
    But then he said but wait
    You used to teach my Sunday school
    When I was only eight
    Every week you would say a prayer
    Before the class would start
    One morning 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
    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'm 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,
    As far as the eye could see
    Each one somehow touched
    By your generosity
    Little things that you had done, sacrifices made
    Unnoticed on the earth, heaven now proclaims
    And I know up in heaven
    That you're not supposed to cry
    But I was almost sure
    There were tears in your eyes
    As Jesus took your hand
    And you stood before the Lord
    And He said my child look around you
    For great is your reward

    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
    I am so glad you gave Writer/s: RAYMOND H. BOLTZ
