If I were a butterfly, 

I'd thank you, Lord, for giving me wings. 

And if I were a robin in a tree, 

I'd thank you, Lord, that I could sing. 

And 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, 

And if I were a kangaroo, 

You know I'd hop right up to you. 

And 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. 

And if I were a billy goat, 

I'd thank you, Lord, for my strong throat. 

And if I were a fuzzy-wuzzy bear, 

I'd thank you, Lord, for my fuzzy-wuzzy hair; 

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'.
