What a beautiful song

This song has been on my mind for several weeks now and everytime I hear it I get chills. I wanted to share it with you. I'm still learning this blogging thing and I couldn't figure out how to post the youtube video so I'm just going to type the lyrics out. I hope this song touches your heart as much as it has mine!

Thank You for giving to the Lord -Ray Boltz

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
We turned and saw a young man running
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 thats 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 eye could see
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity
Little things that you have done
Sacrifices made
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven now proclaimed

And you know up in heaven
You're not suppose 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"

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

As I typed that out I am reminded of the story where Jesus feed five thousand with only 5 fish and 2 loaves of bread. It doesn't matter how big or small when you give from your heart for the glory of God...He will use it in ways you could never imagine. Most of you know that I love Joyce Meyer...hint hint all the facebook post =) She said one time "You do what you can and God will do what you can't" I have to admit that I get very discouraged when I feel like things aren't going the way I think they should be going. But then I'm reminded "You do what you can and God will do what you can't" Its not about what I "feel" its about God and doing what He has called us to do....and thats adopt!

I hope you like the song. Maybe I will figure out how to post the video but for now I'm just going to post it to my facebook page because I know how to do that!
