Ray Boltz (born 1953 in Muncie, Indiana) is a contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter.

He was raised by his parents William and Ruth Boltz.

He is currently retired from the music industry.

"Thank You" is a song from Boltz's album of the same name from 1988 and is considered his signature song.

The song is told in the first person, where Boltz dreams that he is in Heaven with an unnamed friend.

As the story is told, the friend is not a well-known individual in Christian circles, but an average person who was consistent in giving to and serving in the Lord's work.

As they are seeing the sights, Boltz's friend is approached by a young man.

The young man says that he may not be immediately recognizable to the friend; however, he was part of the friend's Sunday School class when he was eight years old.

He recalled how the friend would always begin class with a prayer, and during one of those prayers, the young man trusted in Christ for salvation.

Immediately afterwards, another man approaches Boltz's friend. He stated that a Christian missionary gave a presentation at the friend's church.

The presentation moved the friend to tears, and he gave what little money he had to the missionary's work, which in turn ultimately led to the man also trusting Christ for salvation.

A seemingly endless line of people gathered, each one wanting to thank Boltz's friend for the seemingly small and insignificant sacrifices that he had made, each sacrifice resulting in a changed life.

At the end, Jesus Christ accompanies the friend to the throne of God, where he is told that "great is your reward."
