THEN SINGS MY SOUL SATURDAYS~ LEGACY ~

'LEGACY'
By~ Nichole Nordeman

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

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and are now enjoying a wonderful New Year with your family. I'm sorry I have not been around much lately, I hope this will be changing really soon.

The holidays were very busy and quite difficult for our entire family. Not only have I continued to really struggle with my illness, but my husband also became extremely sick during Christmas with what turned out to be a very serious bacterial pneumonia. He just went back to work, but he is not completely well, so we would appreciate your prayers, as usual.

Also, it looks like we are about to be slammed by a severe winter storm tomorrow and Monday. They are forecasting quite a bit of snow to be followed by lots of freezing rain and sleet. It will be SO beautiful, but these ice events are ALWAYS very dangerous for us southerners, especially when the temps are going to be staying below freezing for several days. Forecasters are anticipating wide spread power outages due to falling trees and downed power lines. We would appreciate your prayers on this as well.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I hope to be back again really soon. Take care!
