Legacy lyrics

I don`t mind if you`ve got something nice to say about me

And I enjoy an accolade like the rest

You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery

Of all the who`s who and so-n-so`s that used to be the best

At such `n such...it wouldn`t matter much



I won`t lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights

We all need an "Atta boy" or "Atta girl"

But in the end I`d like to hang my hat on more besides

the temporary trappings of this world



Chorus:

I want to leave a legacy

How will they remember me?

Did I choose to love?

Did I point to you enough to make a mark on things?

I want to leave an offering

A child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name unapologetically

And leave that kind of legacy



I don`t have to look too far or too long awhile

To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy

It`s an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile

Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon destroy



Chorus



Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred

Just want to hear instead, "Well done" good and faithful one



Chorus
