I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me And I enjoy an accolade like the rest And you could take my picture and hang it in a gallery Of all the who's-who's and so-and-so's That used to be the best at such and 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 lengthy 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. I want to leave a legacy'(repeat chorus) Not well-traveled, not well-read Not well-to-do, or well-bred. Just want to hear instead, Well done, good and faithful one'; I want to leave a legacy..(repeat chorus) I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.
Philippians 2:3-4 NKJV Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Lord Jesus, You gave the Perfect example of selflessness in leaving Your Heavenly Throne, coming to earth and becoming human in Perfect submission to the Will of the Father. You came to serve, not to be served and to give Your Life, a ransom for many. Teach me and guide me in giving my life back to You Lord, showing my love for You in how I love and serve others in Your Name and for Your Glory Jesus, Amen.
Even though I do not even measure myself up the same attitude this song is about, that´s my inner and deepest desire. This song perfectly is one of the best that I´ve ever listened to. Sincere thanks for uploading it. May our heavenly Father bless you and keep you for eternity.
So i used to sing this in church and people didn’t understand it. They thought the song was asking for personal praises and stuff. The exact opposite of the songs purpose. You never know just how much words can be twisted until you see it.
@@gofranmustafa5572 thank you. Over the years I've gotten better but I definitely miss her every day. It's gotten better as I've grown up but I've definitely learnt that she did leave a legacy for all of us.
@Julia Clark I am sorry for your loss as well. The memories from our loved ones seem to make it hard at first but then start to make it better as one grows older and misses them more and more and realizes the memories keep them nearby.
my uncle,grandma,grandpa,brother,friend,other uncle is dead but out of all of it this song means the most to my brother he was the awesomest dude you would ever meet if you liked him or not you knew him
Discovered this song on a "WOW" compilation and fell in love with it. Was listening to it on my car playlist this morning and at "just want to hear instead, 'Well done, good and faithful one'" I teared up. With everything that I am not, and all the standards I have not measured up to, including my own, I just want to see Him smile at me, and to hear those words. Technical note, on that bridge, the end quotation mark should be moved from after "done" to after "one" since that's also part of the quote. Otherwise, I say "well done" on the video. Interesting choice to use pictures only on pauses in the singing. Never seen that done before, but I like it.
i LOVE this song.... and many of her songs. she is very thoughtful of her lyrics. God bless her with more songs like these,,, In Jesus Name i pray. amen!
Inspires a cult leader To make the perfect religion Correct and pure. Like in acts...the church would shake cuz it is proof that god appoves it. That is my desire. Pastors want money. All i want is to do what is correct and behave. Jesus wants us to love him and hate the world. But love eachother and not judge n not defile our hearts. No sin.
Such a lovely song! Indeed living a legacy is far more better than the temporary things of this world! I want to live a life of legacy! Amen!! May God himself continue to bless Nicole for singing such a wonderful song!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Just what I want...to leave that kind of legacy.
It’s about to be 2021 in 2 days and I still love this song!!!!! 😭❤️
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
And you could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all the who's-who's and so-and-so's
That used to be the best at such and 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 lengthy 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.
I want to leave a legacy'(repeat chorus)
Not well-traveled, not well-read
Not well-to-do, or well-bred.
Just want to hear instead,
Well done, good and faithful one';
I want to leave a legacy..(repeat chorus)
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.
Nichole Nordeman, Thank you for blessing us with this song. My Daughter Lauren Ashley Nicole Hugelmaier loved this song!!!! She is in Heaven now.
Sorry for your lose
God bless you Lori

My niece Katie put this song on the back of her prayer/memorial card when she passed away 11 years ago. Such a beautiful song. Thank you Nichole.
Is Casting Crowns’ song “Only Jesus “ a response to this song?
Even though I do not even measure myself up the same attitude this song is about, that´s my inner and deepest desire. This song perfectly is one of the best that I´ve ever listened to. Sincere thanks for uploading it. May our heavenly Father bless you and keep you for eternity.
I wonder, who are those who dislike excellent songs on RUclips
John SaintLyrics ones who don't know truth

First time coming across this song while I was on youtube randomly. I loved it so much and it touched me very deeply. Thank you, Nichole Nordeman!
Intelligently written song that is beautiful, thank you !
33 people mind if you have something nice to say about them
My son sent me this to commemorate my father who he has never met I am here crying like a baby
I desire, as a strong Christian woman, to leave a legacy that represents our Father. He is worthy!!
my uncle,grandma,grandpa,brother,friend,other uncle is dead but out of all of it this song means the most to my brother he was the awesomest dude you would ever meet if you liked him or not you knew him
This song really makes me wonder of how I will enfluence others before I leave this earth. Great Song ! Walter Hicks, Kansas City, MO.

Man... highschool days. Cant believe it's been 20 years.

Inspires a cult leader
To make the perfect religion
Correct and pure.

This song still hits home

Psa 45:17 - I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
Love this song!
