What you leave behind

We all have a responsibility

and I truly believe it is so

Its not what you take with you to heaven

but what you leave behind when you go.

What will be your legacy 

when people think of you?

Will they know you had the Lord in your heart

and to His word you remained true?

Did you leave the light and loveof Jesus

in your children's hearts and minds?

Did you show them what He has done for us

read them the Bible, for all their questions

the answers they can find.

Did you teach them when times get tough

and you feel like giving in

that's when you know you've grown closer to His love

and He's on your side to win.

When temptation to do wrong

grows stronger everyday

just stay steadfast in His love

get on your knees and pray.

Make sure your loved ones know

all about Jesus and His love

so someday when it comes their time

you will all meet again in His kingdom above
