Its Yours - 2 Timothy Songtext
von 116

Yeah, 2 Timothy
When I think about the book, man, I think about legacy
And our legacy as Christians is the truth of God
God has entrusted us with his truth
Wanted us to pass it down from generation to generation
And that′s what Paul was doing to young Timothy
Expecting Timothy to continue the movement
Passing the truth of God down

My time on earth is short, I know I've seen my final days
I thank the Lord above, and for you every night I pray

I remember your tears, you bring me plenty joy
Your faith was real ever since you was a younger boy
So keep the movement going, you gotta stand firm
Don′t be ashamed of the truth, and let your flame burn
They got me locked down, but we'll never stop now
Not now, look at all this truth that was brought down
And you've been taught now, you gotta pass it on
Invest your life into others so this′ll last long
I′ll be living through you, you'll be living through them


They′ll continue to do what you taught 'til the end

And everything I taught to you, teach to faithful men

And make sure they′re faithful otherwise they won't teach again

And everything I taught to you, teach to faithful men
And make sure that they′re faithful otherwise they may not teach again

Now I've been running this race for some time
Now I hand it off to you 'cause it′s the end of my life
Where you′re at or wherever you roam
Know that you'll never walk alone, oh no
Keep your faith in the Word of the Lord
Teaching men to worship Christ is what we live for
And give it back like I′m giving to you
The time is yours, it's yours


Young soldier, follow your orders and fight
Don′t get caught up in worldly ways, you're on a mission for Christ
Be an athlete, that means you′re running to win
You gotta train and follow rules to finish well at the end
Like a farmer, know the soil's a man's soul
So when you sow in their heart, you know what seeds to sow
And like a workman, you′re not ashamed of your life
′Cause you rightly divide the truth before you reign with the Christ
And like a bondslave, you have no will of your own
Just follow the will of God until you kneel at the throne

These are the last days for men that love us and pleasure
They don't seek God′s treasure and they change with the weather
But you know my life, you know my faith
You walked in my shoes, you looked in my face
Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra too
I was beaten down 'cause this is the truth
Yes, this is the truth

Now I′ve been running this race for some time
Now I hand it off to you 'cause it′s the end of my life
Where you're at or wherever you roam
Know that you'll never walk alone, oh no
Keep your faith in the Word of the Lord
Teaching men to worship Christ is what we live for
And give it back like I′m giving to you
The time is yours, it′s yours

These are my last words, this is my last phrase
These are my last thoughts, these are my last days
My life's invested in you just as Jesus did for me
And through you I live on, so continue on with this legacy
Your bread from me, carry out the evidence of this love
And live the truth you learned in youth that you′re convinced of
Yes sir, God inspired these words to teach you

So you'll know the truth and it can reach you

Then it reproves you and it beats you
Corrects you and straightens you up just where it needs to
Then it instructs you and disciplines and trains you
In righteousness so you′re equipped to be who God has made you
And what I gave you is more than my words
It's my life transferred since the day we conferred
So preach the word, in and out of season
The reason is Jesus, believe that I′ve seen Him
They need Him

Now I've been running this race for some time
Now I hand it off to you 'cause it′s the end of my life
Where you′re at or wherever you roam
Know that you'll never walk alone, oh no
Keep your faith in the Word of the Lord
Teaching men to worship Christ is what we live for
And give it back like I′m giving to you
