Lyrics:

[English]

Make it count, leave a mark, build a name for yourself

Dream your dreams, chase your heart, above all else

Make a name the world remembers

But all an empty world can sell is empty dreams

I got lost in the light, but it was up to me

To make a name the world remembers

But Jesus is the only name to remember

...

And I, I don't want to leave a legacy

I don't care if they remember me

Only Jesus

And I, I've only got one life to live

I'll let every second point to Him

Only Jesus

All the kingdoms built, all the trophies won

Will crumble into dust when it's said and done

'Cause all that really matters

...

Did I live the truth to the ones I love

Was my life the proof that there is only One

Whose name will last forever

And I, I don't want to leave a legacy

I don't care if they remember me

Only Jesus

And I, I've only got one life to live

I'll let every second point to Him

Only Jesus

...

Jesus is the only name

Jesus is the only name

Jesus is the only name to remember, oh

Jesus is the only name

Jesus is the only name

Jesus is the only name to remember

And I, I don't want to leave a legacy

I don't care if they remember me

Only Jesus

And I, I've only got one life to live

I'll let every second point to Him

Only Jesus

I, I don't want to leave a legacy

I don't care if they remember me

Only Jesus

...
