I wanna be a kid again, when the simple truths sung out in songs was from the heart and really meant something...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I were a butterfly,
I'd thank You Lord for giving me wings.
If I were a robin in a tree,
I'd thank You Lord that I could sing.
If I were a fish in the sea,
I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee,
But I just thank You Father for making me, me.
** For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile,
** You gave me Jesus and you made me your child,
** And I just thank you Father for making me, me.
If I were an elephant
I'd thank you Lord, by raising my trunk.
If I were a kangaroo,
You know I'd hop right up to you.
If I were an octopus,
I'd thank you Lord for my fine looks.
But I just thank you Father for making me, me.
If I were a wiggly worm,
I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm.
If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear,
I'd thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair.
If I were a crocodile,
I'd thank you Lord for my great smile.
But I just thank you Lord for making me, me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20 years later... I still want to thank God for making me, me... 20 times harder... but maybe 20 times more precious now that I've seen the ugly side that He chose not to see?
