Legacy
Benny Hester Lyrics

We're leaving a trial wherever we go,
Our lives are a journey, and every step we take leaves behind a mark, a memory, a legacy.

Pushing so hard that we never slow,
We often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life so much that we forget to slow down, to take a minute and appreciate the legacy we are building.

To stop and wonder what we've left For this world to know.
It's important to reflect on our lives and think about what kind of legacy we are leaving behind for the world to remember us by.

Somewhere deep in my heart I wish I knew for sure What you'd remember me When I'm not here anymore.
We all have a desire to be remembered, to leave an impact on the world that will last long after we're gone. It's a natural human longing.

The Lord has a way of healing the past, Of taking your best and making it last.
God has the power to redeem even the most broken parts of our lives, to turn our struggles into strengths, and to turn our legacy into something beautiful and lasting.

I want to leave a legacy of love for you That will add up to more Than this simple man could ever be.
Above all, the legacy we should strive to leave behind is one of love, one that transcends our own limitations and imperfections.

When the hard winds blow, Like a feather we spin. If we've fallen asleep, We may waken again to find We've long been judged so blind, so deaf.
Life can be unpredictable and difficult, and we may find ourselves going through the motions, unaware of the legacy we're building until it's too late.

So when it's all said and done I pray this one thing is left:
In the end, all that really matters is the legacy we leave behind, the impact we've had on others, and the love we've shared.

With things unseen, God will bring reality from a dream. That's what His Spirit does.
God has the power to turn our dreams into reality, to make the impossible possible, and to shape our legacy in ways beyond our understanding.

Time keeps slipping away With every word that I say. He is the good in us.
Time is precious, and we must use every moment wisely to build a legacy of love and positivity. We can only do this with the help and guidance of God.

And my hopes and desires Are what I want you to see. They're not what I am But what I'd like to be.
Our hopes and dreams are a reflection of the legacy we hope to leave behind, the kind of person we aspire to be, and the impact we hope to have on the world.

Jesus died and is risen to redeem mankind. So when all seems lost Keep this is mind:
The ultimate legacy we have to draw from is the legacy of Jesus, who died and rose again to redeem humanity and set an example of selfless love for us to follow.

That He has left a legacy of love for you That will add up to more Than any man could ever be. And if God will shed His grace on me I will have left a legacy.
If we can embody the legacy of love that Jesus left behind, and if God will give us the grace to do so, we can leave a legacy that is more powerful and lasting than anything we could achieve on our own.
