Song for First Communion


As part of our First Communion we will be singing this song together at the end of the Mass. Please Practice at home. We have included a link to the video on Youtube at the bottom. 


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

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
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

CHORUS

If I were a wiggly worm
I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a crocodile
I'd thank you Lord for my great smile
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

CHORUS
