Story behind the song
This song is a tribute to the memory of my late husband, Rudy
Lyrics
Title - Legacy
Piano intro…..
From a distant land he came, claiming a proud name
Hard work was the way, each and every day, oh, oh, yeah, each and every day
Light piano
He lived on the edge, choosing to do things his way
He had mountains to climb and rivers to cross
Adventure was the way, oh, oh, yeah
Life without was a terrible loss….
Chorus (big)
He was a champion for the lost (oh yes, he was)
Changing lives along the way
His life was sometimes hard (yes it was)
Comfort came when he would pray
Light piano…
He felt a man should handle many tasks per day
But always make time for someone in need
When his day was finally done (oh yeah)
His rustic cabin was where he had some fun
Chorus (big)
He was a champion for the lost (oh yes he was)
Changing lives along the way
His life was sometimes hard (oh, it was)
Comfort came when he would pray
Musical interlude
With many plans undone, oh yeah,
Our Lord called him home, on that day
With his loving family by his side (oh, yeah)
This man, who loved life, is now with his God
Where he will forever stay (big)
Oh, oh, oh , oh,
Chorus (big - once only )
Oh,oh, oh, this man of God, he would pray
He would kneel and pray…….
Piano section
He was a man of God, (oh he was)
He would kneel and pray (yes Lord)
He would kneel and pray
Fade out……
