While reading Papa’s post, I was reminded of this song, and a time when on my knees, prayed for this to me..leave this kind of legacy. So thank you Papa for your wisdom that flows on to me, and reminds me why I do this…
Nicole Nordeman
Woven and Spun
Legacy
I don’t mind if you 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
with all the who’s-who and so-and-so’s
that used to be the best as such-and-such
It wouldn’t matter much
I won’t lie, it feels alright to see you name in lights
we all need an ‘atta boy’ or ‘atta girl’
in the end I’d like to hang my hat on more besides
the temporary trappings of this world
(chorus)
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to you enough
to make my 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
Don’t have to look to far or too long
to make a lengthy list of that I enjoy
its an accumlating trinket in treasure pile
with moth and rust, thieves and such
will soon enough destroy
(back to chorus)
Not well traveled, not well read
not well to do, or well bred
I just want to hear instead
“well done, good and faithful one”
(back to chorus)
ponderings of a princess... 
I’ve never heard this song before, but I sure know the desire.
Thanks for sharing it, Darla. 😉
“did I point to you enough …” That is a challenge that I keep asking myself. It is really what my blog is all about. Jesus, please help papa.
Papa you do a wonderful job of pointing to Jesus with real life applications..I know when I come there I will recieve something from the Lord to ponder on..soooo yes you are pointing to HIM, and I am blessed because of it! ♥ you and mama
I was blessed to see Nicole Nordemen at a Women of Faith confrence some years ago. It was so awesome. We do need to keep a legacy. God bless you twin sister. Love ya from Tanya
“well done, good and faithful one”
Those words… I long to hear

Tanya- hey twin sis! 😆 i saw her there too and again at the Bible College near me..the most amazing thing is that she had the people close there eyes, and sing come let us adore him…and silently left during the worship..just like that..beautiful!
