I don't mind if you've got something nice                      to say about me
                    And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
                    You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
                    Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
                    At such'n'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 lengthly 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                      
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do                      or well bred
                    Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and                      faithful one... 
lol had this song stuck in my head today.. i miss it! i deleted it a long time ago and i cannot find it in my folder anymore..TT AND MY ARES IS NOT WORKING AGAIN!!!!! TT
sigh.
and its so true, the lyrics i mean. what we will leave behind in this world, how will we be remembered..
its not about how many exams we aced,
or what noble careers we have chosen,
or how wealthy and popular we were.
there has gotta be so much more than this
i guess its about the love we gave, showing people how great His love can be.
maybe thats just how i consider existence is, by being a part of someone else's life.
and even when we finally depart from this world, we still do exist, as the permanent mark or legacy we left behind.
