Leave a Legacy
What Legacy Should We Leave
We all are born for a purpose
to make a difference in this world
Shaped in every color and creed
we are created to teach learn and lead
It does matter what we say and do
Because if we know it or not
that every word has power to choose
Will your life be a light
That will shine through
Every storm that you go through?
Will your life be the one who
will allow God to use?
Your life is a open book
for all the world to see
who do you want to reflect
that can change and affect?
You may know it or not
But there are people who are
watching your life to see what you do
Their footsteps are following the path
you choose
When the time comes that
when you have to say good-bye
Will you truly be ready to leave
Or will you hide what’s deep inside
Did you know that there are treasures
That God put inside
Many hidden talents
and gift he gave
For us to never hide
Will you do
everything you can to
show your love that
God gave to you?
Love, mercy and grace
is what this world needs
So, let’s try to reach
out to the hungry and poor
With a heart of love
and compassion and more
We are God's hands who
He uses to feed
When it is all said and done
What will they say?
About the life you that you lead
Did it bring glory to God
Or did it point to you instead?
I don't know about you
But, I want to leave a legacy
That's honest and true
Who will lead many to Jesus
Who makes all things new
