Oh, it's a GREAT song, though...g'nad! You'd do GREAT with it! It just happens to be one of my favorite "non-hymn" songs. Very moving.
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 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
CHORUS
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I had 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 didnt have much money
But you gave it anyway
Jesus took the gift you gave
And thats why Im here today
CHORUS (repeat)
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 up in heaven
Youre 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 (repeat)
I am so glad you gave

I have had problems with this song, because I believe it says in the scriptures that we will throw our "crowns" at the feet of Jesus, due to the fact that whatever has been done to further the Kingdom of Heaven, HE does it... thank God.
