We're leaving a trail wherever we go,
Pushing so hard that we never slow to stop and wonder what we've left for this world to know,
Somewhere deep in my heart, I wish I knew for sure what you'd remember of me when I'm not here anymore,
The Lord has a way of healing the past, of taking your best, making it last.

I want to leave a legacy of love for you that will add up to more than this simple man could ever be,
I want to leave a legacy.

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,
So when it's all said and done, I pray this one thing is left...

That I may leave a legacy of love for you that will add up to more than this simple man could ever be,
Lord, help me leave a legacy.

With things unseen, God will bring reality from a dream; that's what his Spirit does,
Time keeps slipping away with every word that I say,
He is the good in us.

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,
Jesus died and is risen to redeem mankind, so when all seems lost keep this is mind...

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.
