The Elder team commissioning the Shultz family to mission service.
Thank You
this song was sung by the youth group at the commissioning service
I dreamed I went to Heaven
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 names
You turned and saw this youth group
And they were smiling as they came.
And they said "Friends, you may not know us now"
Let me try to explain
You used to teach our Life Nights
You prayed for us by name
Every two weeks you'd teach us about
The Lord and how He's good
To do the things the Bible says,
to live as Jesus would.
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 group stood before you
They said "Remember the time
You came servants to Peru
Left your home behind
You knew that the Lord had called
And you wanted to obey
Jesus took the time you gave
And that's why we're in heaven today."
One by one they came
Far as your eyes could see
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity
Little things that you had done
Sacrifices you made
They were seen at PMC
And Heaven now proclaims
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 hands
And you stood before the Lord
He said, "My child, look around you
Great is your reward."
As Jesus takes your hand
And you go to serve the Lord
Ron and Regina, look around you
Great is your reward!
