I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
And you can take my picture and hang it in a gallery Of all the who's who's and so-and-so's
That used to be the best at such and 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
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 enough destroy
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
Not well-traveled, not well-read Not well-to-do, or well-bred
I just want to hear instead Well done, good and faithful one
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
