Lyrics
As I sat here on the bed where you used to lay your head, I began to read the pages of your life. And I felt you very near as I read about the tears, and learned of the struggle and the strife. How odd, sometimes it seemed, that your faith never dimmed. Instead you just tried harder to do right. At the end of the road was a light, you showed, And I'm sure your reward is very bright.
(Chorus)
This is your legacy written here for me. this is your legacy for all mankind to see As line followed line, truth followed truth. Hope followed fear, and age followed youth and through it all your prayers went up, and He filled up your cup, and the cup ran over.
(Verse 2)
Your children learned from you what it is that they should do to seek for virtue and for truth. And grandchildren too, so many followed through. The spirit burned deep while yet in youth. Now I thank you for a look at this very special book, And I know you really wouldn't mind "Cause the things you had to say weren't put there to stay, but to touch other hearts such as mine.
