THE BUTTERFLY SONG

(If I Were a Butterfly)

Words and Music by Brian M. 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

 

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

 

If I were an elephant

I'd thank you Lord by raising my trunk

If I were a kangaroo

ou 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
