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

Everbody
