Keeping the Faith

(2 Timothy 4: 1-8)

Jesus is the true judge,
Of both living and the dead,
I can see His kingdom,
It's everything He said

So it is I tell you,
Go out and preach the word,
In each and every season,
Sing praises to the Lord!

For the time approaches,
When doctrine will not suit,
Instead, their own desires,
Will be what they pursue

Around them will be teachers,
Repeating what they wish,
Telling them all falsehoods,
And listening to myths

But you should be discerning,
Work hard and set them straight,
Preach and spread the gospel,
And show them heaven's gate

Me? My life is over,
No spirit in my cup,
The time for my departure,
Shortly will be up

The fight has been a good one,
The race is one I've won,
Because I have been faithful,
A crown will be my sun

My prize for being righteous,
Is what's in store for me,
God decides what's coming,
With you for company.
