David Phelps - Legacy Of Love lyrics
[David Phelps - Legacy Of Love lyrics]
He was the kind of man
That good men talk about
The way he showed his faith was
How he lived it out
His hands were rough and calloused and
His shoes were old and torn
And the lines that framed his smile were
Lines so well and deep and worn
So what will be remembered of
What he left behind?
What will stand the test of time?
How to love your neighbor and
How to love your wife
Wrap your arms around your children and
Pray with them each night
Thank God for all the good things
'cause the good things are enough
The ties that bind and leave
Behind a legacy of love
He worked a second job to
Make the ends all meet
But somehow managed to always be there for me
Showed me how to listen and how
To stand for what is right
And taught me all the things that
Really matter in this life
As I look into the eyes of
My daughters and my sons
I hope I've stood for something that
They'll want to carry on
'Cause life is far too short
Not to finally realize
That it's long enough to make
A difference in someone's life
So I'm gonna love my neighbor and
I'm gonna love my wife
Wrap my arms around my children and
Pray with them each night
Thank God for all the good things
Cause the good things are enough
The ties that bind and leave
Behind a legacy of love
That good men talk about
The way he showed his faith was
How he lived it out
His hands were rough and calloused and
His shoes were old and torn
And the lines that framed his smile were
Lines so well and deep and worn
So what will be remembered of
What he left behind?
What will stand the test of time?
How to love your neighbor and
How to love your wife
Wrap your arms around your children and
Pray with them each night
Thank God for all the good things
'cause the good things are enough
The ties that bind and leave
Behind a legacy of love
He worked a second job to
Make the ends all meet
But somehow managed to always be there for me
Showed me how to listen and how
To stand for what is right
And taught me all the things that
Really matter in this life
As I look into the eyes of
My daughters and my sons
I hope I've stood for something that
They'll want to carry on
'Cause life is far too short
Not to finally realize
That it's long enough to make
A difference in someone's life
So I'm gonna love my neighbor and
I'm gonna love my wife
Wrap my arms around my children and
Pray with them each night
Thank God for all the good things
Cause the good things are enough
The ties that bind and leave
Behind a legacy of love
