Pushing so hard that we never slow,
To stop and wonder what we've left
For this world to know.
Somewhere deep in my heart
I wish I knew for sure
What you'd remember me
When I'm not here anymore.
The Lord has a way of healing the past,
Of taking your best and making it last.
I want to leave a legacy of love for you
That will add up to more
Than this simple man could ever be.
I want to leave a legacy.
When the hard winds blow,
Like a feather we spin.
If we've fallen asleep,
We may waken again to find
We've long been judged so blind, so deaf.
So when it's all said and done
I pray this one thing is left:
That I may leave a legacy of love for you
That will add up to more
Than this simple man could ever be.
Lord, help me leave a legacy.
With things unseen,
God will bring reality from a dream.
That's what His Spirit does.
Time keeps slipping away
With ev'ry word that I say.
He is the good in us.
And my hopes and desires
Are what I want you to see.
They're not what I am
But what I'd like to be.
Jesus died and is risen to redeem mankind.
So when all seems lost
Keep this is mind:
That He has left a legacy of love for you
That will add up to more
Than any man could ever be.
And if God will she'd His grace on me
I will have left a legacy.
We're leaving a trial wherever we go, Pushing so hard that we never slow, To stop and wonder what we've left For this world to know. Somewhere deep in my heart I wish I knew for sure What you'd remember me When I'm not here anymore. The Lord has a way of healing the past, Of taking your best and making it last. I want to leave a legacy of love for you That will add up to more Than this simple man could ever be. I want to leave a legacy. When the hard winds blow, Like a feather we spin. If we've fallen asleep, We may waken again to find We've long been judged so blind, so deaf. So when it's all said and done I pray this one thing is left: That I may leave a legacy of love for you That will add up to more Than this simple man could ever be. Lord, help me leave a legacy. With things unseen, God will bring reality from a dream. That's what His Spirit does. Time keeps slipping away With ev'ry word that I say. He is the good in us. And my hopes and desires Are what I want you to see. They're not what I am But what I'd like to be. Jesus died and is risen to redeem mankind. So when all seems lost Keep this is mind: That He has left a legacy of love for you That will add up to more Than any man could ever be. And if God will she'd His grace on me I will have left a legacy. Explain Request ×
