inspired by a song

yes i've been so inspired and touched by the song "Thank You" by Ray Boltz... i've listened and re listened over and over again... here it goes....


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 that's why I'm here today."
**
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."

..."Little things that you had done, Sacrifices made, Unnoticed on the earth in heaven now proclaimed".... this stands out and speaks volumes to my heart.... there really isn't anything that is too small to please God... is there?

"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." 

~ Matthew 10:42

  1. It is a wonderful song....one that you could listen to all day. When I hear it, I always think of the people in my life that have inspireed me. This week my inspiration is my son. He has been going through a huge struggle with drug addiction over that last 4 years, and through AA his life is now really turning around. I can now see the evidence of that. Thank you for sharing this awesome song. Hope you have a great weekend. :-)

  2. What inspired me this week??? Um... I adopted a Marine... Hes 21 and communicating with him makes me want to be a better person. He has such a great attitude and such a great love for his wife and unborn daughter. I am just happy I have this chance to know him! <3

  4. I have always *loved* that song! It reminds me of the leaders of my church youth group when I was a kid. One day they'll know how much of a difference they made in my life.

  5. Carrie, i can relate to how you feel about your son.

    My ex boyfriend (we lost touch) was there too. From the day i met him... i began praying for deliverance and breakthrough... God delivered him and he is now a Seminary Student...a man of God!
    In the process, he had very ugly struggles and many times i've cried watching him struggled but our God is the healer and the deliverer.

    Will continue to pray for him!
    Have a great weekend!!
