Legacy
- Nicole Nordeman
- performed by Nicole Nordeman

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest.
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery..
Of all the who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best..
At such 'n such...it wouldn't matter much.

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights.
We all need an "Atta boy" or "Atta girl". But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides..
the temporary trappings of this world.

Chorus:
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.


I don't have to look too far or too long awhile..
To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy.
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile..
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy.


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.


Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred.
Just want to hear instead, "Well done" good and faithful one..Hey yeah..


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.

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.
