“Thank You” – performed by Ray Boltz
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 gaveThe song “Thank You” was popularized by Ray Boltz and it has a very deep and spiritual meaning to its lyrics. If you have a relative, a friend, or an immediate family member who recently passed away and you want to commemorate all of his good deeds before the basic cremation process, then this is definitely the best song that you can find.
The piece basically recognizes and remembers all of the good deeds that the deceased had made. In a way, the family and friends see him as a good person who had done great things when he was still alive. All of the bad and the negative aspects of his lives are forgotten and the good aspects are being celebrated.
The song also teaches people that even if no one recognizes all of your efforts in doing good deeds today, when you will be in heaven, those efforts will pay off. This is such a touching piece that helps people especially the family of the deceased that the soul of their loved one is with the Lord in heaven and that he is in a better place now.
As the family looks back to the life of the deceased, words of thanks are being spoken to tell him how grateful everybody is for the small acts of help that he had given. If you want funeral songs that are as touching as this one, you may go to www.songmeanings.net.
