Thank You - Ray Boltz
The sub-pastor for my church is leaving because we now have our new pastor
(hurray!). However, I wanted to sing this song for him tomorrow after his
last sermon. I couldn't find the tabs/chords, so I listened to the song, and
learned it. Thought I would share.

P.S. From VERSE 3 to the end of the song, you can either CAPO1,
or move up the different chord (in parenthesis).
VERSE 1
G D
I dreamed I went to heaven
Em G
And you were there with me
C G
We walked upon the streets of gold
C D
Beside the crystal sea
G D
We heard these angels singing
Em G
Then someone called your name
C G
You turned and saw this young man
C D
And he was smiling as he came
G D
And he said friend you may not know me now
Em G
And then he said, but wait
C G
You used to teach my Sunday School
C D
When I was only eight
G D
And every week you would say a prayer
Em G
Before the class would start
C G
And one day when you said that prayer
C D G
I asked Jesus in my heart
CHORUS
G D Em G
Thank you for giving to the Lord
C G C D
I am a life that was changed
G D Em G
Thank you for giving to the Lord
C D G
I am so glad you gave

VERSE TWO
G D
Then another man stood before you
Em G
And said remember the time
C G
A missionary came to your church
C D
And his pictures made you cry
G D
You didn’t have much money
Em G
But you gave it anyway
C G
Jesus took the gift you gave
C D G
And that's why I'm here today
CHORUS (repeat)
VERSE THREE [CAPO1(Standard Tuning)]
G(G#) D(D#)
One by one they came
Em(Fm) G(G#)
Far as your eyes could see
C(C#) G(G#)
Each life somehow touched
C(C#) D(D#)
By your generosity
G(G#) D(D#)
Little things that you had done
Em(Fm) G(G#)
Sacrifices you made
C(C#) G(G#)
They were unnoticed on the earth
C(C#) D(D#) G(G#)
In heaven now proclaimed
VERSE 4[CAPO1(Standard Tuning)]
G(G#) D(D#)
And I know that up in heaven
Em(Fm) G(G#)
You’re not supposed to cry
C(C#) G(G#)
But I am almost sure
C(C#) D(D#)
There were tears in your eyes
G(G#) D(D#)
As Jesus took your hand
Em(Fm) G(G#)
And you stood before the Lord
C(C#) G(G#)
He said, my child look around you
C(C#) D(D#) G(G#)
For great is your reward
CHORUS[CAPO1(Standard Tuning)]
G(G#) D(D#) Em(Fm) G(G#)
Thank you for giving to the Lord
C(C#) G(G#) C(C#) D(D#)
I am a life that was changed
G(G#) D(D#) Em(Fm) G(G#)
Thank you for giving to the Lord
C(C#)D(D#) G(G#)
I am so glad you gave
C(C#)D(D#) G(G#)
I am so glad you gave.
I hope you enjoy it!
GOD Bless.
Reuben.
