The truth you first shared with me (this is your legacy) / the fruit that was born of that seed (this is your legacy)/ how God used your words and love to touch me, and shape me into what I'm supposed to be (this is your legacy) x2
Vs.1
You will never know what the depth is, or change in perception/ that took place inside me, and changed my direction/ when you told me of Christ and our Lord resurrection/ a seed was planted in me until the harvest was receptive/ reflection, years went by till it set in/ blind I had eyes that couldn't see past my dead end/ sometimes I get sad when I think about the fact that/ I never saw your face but you had such an impact/ about two weeks after you passed God redeemed me/ I didn't know you passed, so when I called it really grieved me/ a few months later I could see God sovereignty/ He had you play a part in my life, you're in the heart of me/ so grandma with each person I pass the baton to, that passes down to another, the baton started with you/ and by grace the matriarch of our family remains/ through faith passed down in a new generation of saints

Vs.2
You were an activist, I guess it's in my blood to be passionate/ burdened for my people, concerned for their happiness/ I was blinded by the evil, but God had a plan to give/ redeem me from the thoughts, that I couldn't quite handle yet/ your son never taught me what it was to be a man but yet/ you told me to forgive him because God would be the man for that/ I didn't understand, but now I see your wisdom so/ I had to know God before I could ever let the hatred go/ so now I seek love, instead of hating my circumstance/ knees to the floor, tall tees and baggy pants/ Christ as my Lord, ill rep it until the death of me/ to live is His as well, but death would be the better thing/ father I live in the drought, rain harder/ plant me in the field where seeds still need water/ ill pass the faith of my grandma with truth and conviction/ grace and repentance, the life of a Christian
