Legacy

I won”t have any money to leave behind. I won”t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind…
If I can help somebody as I pass along,
if I can cheer somebody with a word or song,
if I can show somebody he”s travelling wrong,
then my life will not be in vain.

If I can do my duty as a Christian ought,
if I can bring salvation to a world once wrought,
if I can spread the message as the master taught,
then my life will not be in vain.
