Legacy
by Benny Hester
on Personal Best (1988), Legacy (1983)
We're leaving a trail 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 of me
When I'm not here anymore
The Lord has a way of healing the past
Of taking your best, 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 every 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
