It's Yours

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

Wants us to pass it down from generation to generation

And that's what Paul was doing to young Timothy

Expected Timothy to continue the movement

Passin 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 livin' through you, you'll be livin' 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 runnin' this race for some time

Now I hand it off to you 'cuz it's the end of my life

I'm prayin' that, oh, wherever you roam

Know you'll never walk alone, oh no

Keep your faith in the Word of the Lord

Teachin' men to worship Christ is what we live for

Then give it back like I'm givin' to you

The time is yours, it's yours

You're a soldier - follow your orders to fight

Don't get caught up in wordly ways, you're on a mission for Christ

Be an athlete - that means you're runnin' to win

You gotta train and follow rules to finish well at the end

And like a farmer, know the soils of man's souls

So when you're sowin' their hearts, you know what seeds to sow

And like a workman, you're not ashamed of your life

'Cuz you rightly divided truth before you reigned 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, the lovers of 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 'cuz this is the truth, this is the truth

Now, I've been runnin' this race for some time

Now I hand it off to you 'cuz it's the end of my life

I'm prayin' that, oh, wherever you roam

Know you'll never walk alone, oh no

Keep your faith in the Word of the Lord

Teachin' men to worship Christ is what we live for

Then give it back like I'm givin' 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 also - continue on with this legacy

Your prayer for me - carry out the evidence of this love

And let the truth you learned in youth that you're convinced

Yes sir - God inspired these words to teach you (teach you)

So you'll know the truth and it could reach you (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, it 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 seen Him, they need Him

Now, I've been runnin' this race for some time

Now I hand it off to you 'cuz it's the end of my life

I'm prayin' that, oh, wherever you roam

Know you'll never walk alone, oh no

Keep your faith in the Word of the Lord

Teachin' men to worship Christ is what we live for

Then give it back like I'm givin' to you

The time is yours, it's yours

It's yours...
