The Blessing -by John Waller and Troy Denning
Let it be said of us while we walked among the living
Let it be said of us by the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us that we lived to be a blessing for life
And let it be said of us that we gave to reach the dying
Let it be said of us by the fruit we leave behind
Let it be said of us that our legacy is blessing for life
This day, You set life, You set death right before us
This day, every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life
Let it be said of us that our hearts belong to Jesus
Let it be said of us that we spoke the words of life
Let is be said of us that our heritage is blessing for life
‘Cause blessings and curses are choices
Will we build up, tear down? The moment of truth is now
For your kingdom, for our children
For the sake of every nation
We will choose to be a blessing for life

The whole song is a sort of updated-but-different version of “Find Us Faithful,” a song I grew up hearing. The point of both songs is that what we do now makes a difference in the future. May the legacy be blessing!
