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
Are you leaving a legacy? Point to Jesus enough to make a mark on things. Each and every day. Remember that:
“It’s an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy”
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy”
What will they remember YOU by? What would your closest friends, family members, or even your enemies say about you?
Why not leave a legacy of Loving Jesus with passion? Loving others with passion? So that when you see your Savior, face to face, He will say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
Do you have 3:57 of your time to watch this short, inspirational video to song? It just might change your outlook on the rest of your life.
Thanks for visiting!

She’s one of my favorite Contemporary Christian artists, right along with Natalie Grant. I love this song, the lyrics, everything.

Amen! I actually posted about this as part of a Blog Bash, and the challenge was to pick a ‘theme song’ for yourself! So many great ones to choose, and this one is one of the few closest to my heart in terms of my own heart cry! To make a difference for Jesus!!

I sang this song a few years ago in church…and everytime I hear it, I think of my sweet babies and hope they see in me all that I love about my Lord!!
Melodie says

Oh Traci. We’re on the same wavelength. I’ve had such a hard emotional week. I haven’t visited your blog in a while. I posted about my friend, Joy, this morning and also posted this same video! Now I come here and you have the words and the video. Amazing. Joy left a legacy and I’m so excited that she’s with the Lord now enjoying her reward.
