The Butterfly Song

The Butterfly Song

A Poem by Shalini Dinesh
"

For Emma's contest- "MUSIC YOU".... I'd be ???????

"

Words and Music by Brian Howard:


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

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 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 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

This is a very old song which we would have listened and sung during our school days, I know its so kiddish but i still love this song, of course i love many more songs but i would choose this one if i was a song, cause i love being myself and I'm thankful to God that he loves me and am happy for being "ME"
