The Butterfly Song (If I Were a Butterfly)

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 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
