THIS IS MY LEGACY<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

09-29-2019<\/p>\n

This is my legacy,
\nThe Word I share with you,
\nMy parting gift to friends,
\nAfter my life is through.<\/p>\n

Although I will be gone,
\nA treasure I leave behind,
\nI pray that it feeds you,
\nAnd gives sight to the blind.<\/p>\n

I have labored so long,
\nNot a moment I regret,
\nHis bread I cast out far,
\nCatching fish in God’s net.<\/p>\n

Many are the wonders,
\nWhich we have all explored,
\nIf you have been inspired,
\nI hope you’ll thank the Lord.<\/p>\n

For I am just a vessel,
\nYes, no more than a man,
\nI can take no credit,
\nIt all came from God’s Hand.<\/p>\n

Now if you have been blessed,
\nThere’s one thing you can do,
\nShare these nuggets widely,
\nSo others know Him too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
