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, 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, how to stand for what is right And taught me all the things that really matter in this life How to love your neighbor, 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 And 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 Oh, the ties that bind and leave behind a legacy A legacy of love, of love
