If I Were A Butterfly

I heard this song for the first time last Sunday and I could not forget its beautiful lyrics. I wish all parents knew how to recognize the strength of their children, accept them as they are and celebrate with them.

If I Were a Butterfly

Words and Music by Brian M. Howard

VS 1

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

CHORUS

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

VS 2

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

VS 3

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
