legacy

[ChristyP4Christ]

I just wanted to share something I do. I keep a legacy book It is something I can pass on to my kids and my grandchildren and who knows maybe many generations to come.
I found the biggest binder I could find and believe me it is huge. Inside I put basic stuff about my self and family.
Then I added poems, ministry papers, bible study papers and anything I thought that would be of interest after I have gone. I have even been know to print stuff from forums and add to the book.....

That sounds like a great idea.

I love doing it. I just added a section for CD's That way I can leave music that I really love to the ones I love. I got the idea after hearing the song Legacy...." I want to leave a legacy...Here are the words to the song for those who have not heard it....


don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
And you can take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all the Who's Who's and So-and-So's
That used to be the best at such and 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

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

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
