A Beautiful Song

My Vicar, Canon Dr. John Benson, is stepping down this weekend and we will be paying tribute to him with this song. Its truly beautiful and tears just rolled down my cheeks as i heard it.

I thought Canon In D was beautiful.

The lyrics of this song is so beautiful and so meaningful. It was for a man who dedicated his life to bring others to the Lord. A righteous man who has always loved us like how Jesus has commanded us to love. We are truly blessed under his leadership.

Thank you Canon John Benson. Thank you for giving to the Lord. I am so glad you gave.

Praise God!

Amen.

Thank You (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 someone called your name.
We 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
I was only eight.
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
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 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."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed. (We are lives that have been changed)
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave. (We are so glad you gave)

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed. (We are lives that have been changed)
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave. (We are so glad you gave)
