I 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
