Legacy

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


More song lyrics- surprise!  I must know a couple of hundred songs of the Contemporary Christian Genre. I am typically singing them all day long. It is a source of amusement to my co-workers. Fortunately, they like my singing! I will get one stuck in my head in a track that just plays over and over all day long. This is the selection du jour. It is by an artist named Nichole Nordemon. I have done a couple of her pieces as offertories for the contemporary service I attend. The name of the song is "Legacy". No surprise there... :) The words are so perfect that there is very little I need to add to them.


So I will just say this. When people talk about "life goals" this is the only one I can think of that is worthy of my life. I want to leave a legacy. One that "points to You enough to make a mark on things". So that when it is all over, and the race is run, I can hear "well done, good and faithful one". That is the whole of my heart's desire. 'Nuff said....... Shalom.
