Benny Hester - Legacy lyrics

rate me

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 shed His grace on me

I will have left a legacy.
