Using all my Internet savvy, I found the song by Ray Boltz that I spoke of in yesterday's post. To go to a spot where you can listen to this song click here and look for Thank You. I know there is a way to post the sound here, but I haven't the foggiest on that, so I'll just post that link! Here are the words:
Thank You
Words and music by 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
You turned and saw this young man
And he was smiling as he came
And he said, Friend,
You may not know me now
And the 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
CHORUS:
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 am here today
CHORUS
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 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
Great is your reward.
CHORUS
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.

Nice lyrics on this song. I tended to be a "fleeer" too, and sometimes I still get the urge to flee, but I've found it makes going back even harder. Praying for you, blessings.
