My Legacy
Of all the things I may acquire in life,
be it fortune or great fame.
The legacy I'd like to leave behind,
would be a Christian name.
I'd like for those who know to say,
that I walked as a Christian should.
And when a hand reached out to me,
I was there to help, and would.
Then should you at my graveside stand,
linger not alone there long to weep.
Neither death or grave have victory o'er me,
I am not here, in death I do not sleep.
