Legacy Lyrics by Nichole Nordeman

Recollection - The Best of Nichole Nordeman

2002

[Intro]
I don't mind if you 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
[Verse 1]
I won't lie, it feels all right to see your name in lights (We all need)
We all need an "attaboy" or "attagirl"
In the end, I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
[Chorus]
I wanna 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 wanna leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed Your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
[Verse 2]
Don't have to look too far or too long a while
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
[Chorus]
I wanna 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 wanna leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed Your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
[Bridge]
Not well-traveled, not well-read
Not well-to-do or well-bred
Just wanna hear instead
"Well done, good and faithful one"
[Pre-Chorus]
He-e-ey, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I wanna 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 wanna leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed Your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
[Outro]
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
