Have you ever thought about what your legacy will be when you leave this world? At several times in my life I have, probably as a consequence of circumstances at those times. That said, this questions should not be one we only consider when we’re nearing the end of our lives, it should be a question we have considered, and have a positive response to.
I recently listened to a song I hadn’t heard in a while, and my attention was caught by one line of the song
Did I live the truth to the ones I love?
That question has really stuck with me, and made me question various aspects of my life, as I’ve struggled to answer ‘Yes’ to that question.
I simply pray that God will guide me to live my life in a way that helps those I love to see my life is different (in a good way!) because of Jesus.
Make it count
Leave a mark
Build a name for yourself
Dream your dreams
Chase your heart
Above all else
Make a name the world remembers
But all an empty world can sell is empty dreams
I got lost in the lie that it was up to me
To make a name the world remembers
But Jesus is the only name to remember
And I, I don't want to leave a legacy
I don't care if they remember me
Only Jesus
And I, I've only got one life to live
I'll let every second point to Him
Only Jesus
All the kingdoms built
All the trophies won
Will crumble into dust
When it's said and done
'Cause all that really matters
Did I live the truth to the ones I love?
Was my life the proof there is only One
Whose name will last forever?
And I, I don't want to leave a legacy
I don't care if they remember me
Only Jesus
And I, I've only got one life to live
I'll let every second point to Him
Only Jesus
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
Jesus is the only name (woah, woah)
Jesus is the only name (woah, woah)
Jesus is the only name to remember (woah, woah, woah)
Jesus is the only name
Jesus is the only name
Jesus is the only name to remember
And I, I don't want to leave a legacy
I don't care if they remember me
Only Jesus
And I, I've only got one life to live
I'll let every second point to Him
Only Jesus
I, I don't want to leave a legacy
I don't care if they remember me
Only Jesus
