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...
just looking at my previous entry and reading it, i was reminded of a song, " A Touch From Heaven". it was abt a woman who had a blood problem that was with her for many years. it is a strange and unclean illness in the custom of the Jews. so when Jesus was passing thru a city, this woman said to herself, if only she can touch the garment of Jesus, she would be heal! oh, wat faith she has! and this woman pressed thru the crowds of ppl who was thronging Jesus, and she managed to touch his garment, and immediately she was healed! and the amazing thing is, Jesus knew that someone touched Him coz He felt power coming out from Him, when so many ppl was thronging Him, and pushing Him.
somehow, at this point, i dunno reali noe how to continue.. it just struck me that this case was different other cases whr it was Jesus who initiated the healing, in the sense, He will go and heal the sick, lay hands on them or will say to those ppl who came to Him and asked for healing for other ppl and Jesus will usuali say, that person is healed. but somehow, this case was different, it was initiated and simply one sided. Jesus didnt noe who touched Him until later,(however, it is impossible that JEsus do not know, coz He noes everything beforehand...) and she was already healed. so, wat does that mean?? i need to think and ask God about it. :)
Anyway, the song goes like this:
" Like the woman with the issue of blood We press in, we press in Like the blind man waiting patiently We press in through the crowd
Then suddenly, a touch from heaven Jesus came and rescued me, Then suddenly, a touch from heaven Jesus came and rescue me"
