Fun Songs
Ed and Madeleine EckertThanks to the Members Here
I.Thanks to the members here
Who make life in RE a vital place to be
Where children's minds and hearts can flourish to maturity!
How lucky we are!
Thanks to the members here
Who join the SAC, pursue BYOT
The Care Committee, Senior Club, The New U, and AE
How lucky we are!
To those who serve throughout the Sunday service
Making coffee...being ushers...fixing flowers
To the greeters who greet through their coffee hours
And to the entire heavenly church choir. Yes,
Thanks to the members here
Who strive to do some good beyond their neighborhood
Who’ve worked to solve our urban problems, when no one else would
How lucky we are!
II.
Thanks to the members here
For all the volunteers who've volunteered for years
Who give the church their full support, now we give you three cheers!
How lucky we are!
Thanks to the members here
Who have the wherewithal to always be on call
Here’s to the minister and staff, we need you, one and all!
How lucky we are!
To those who oversee the church finances
Or help conduct the Canvass every fall
To you we send our smiles and loving glances
We owe you so much, for your Midas touch! Yes,
Thanks to you, one and all
To the entirety
Of this community
Not just the members but all friends of our church family
How lucky we are!
