Thank You For Giving to the Lord

Psalm 95:1

1 "Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Lyrics to “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 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 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'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

Far as the eyes 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 that 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

For great is your reward”

I am so grateful for all of you that have joined together with me over the years, and helped me reach one more soul for the Lord. I can’t find the words that can begin to tell what your sacrifices really mean to me.

Father, I ask that you give them the greatest reward. In Jesus's name, Amen.

Blessings on the journey, and remember that the best is yet to come.
