If I Were A Butterfly Lyrics

[with motions]


If I were a butterfly, I’d thank you Lord for giving me wings [flap your arms]
If I were a robin in a tree, I’d thank you Lord that I could sing [flap again or make bird beak w/hand]
If I were a fish in the sea, I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee [wiggle your tail]
But I just thank you Father for making me, me. [point to self with right thumb, little jump]

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile [point to chest, point to mouth]
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child [hands together prayerfully]
And I just thank you Father for making me, me. [point to self with right thumb, little jump]

If I were an elephant, I’d thank you Lord by raising my trunk [arms together, swinging side to side]
If I were a kangaroo, You know I’d hop right up to you [hop]
If I were an octopus, I’d thank you Lord for my fine looks [wiggle your arms]
But I just thank you Father for making me, me. [point to self with right thumb, little jump]

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 [squirm]
If I were a fuzzy wuzzy bear, I’d thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair [scratch your head]
If I were a crocodile, I’d thank you Lord for my great smile [make big crocodile mouth with arms]
But I just thank you Father for making me, me. [point to self with right thumb, little jump]

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.
And I just thank you Father for making me me.
