Rick Trotter - It's Yours lyrics

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 pa** it down from generation to generation And that's what Paul was doing to young Timothy Expected Timothy to continue the movement Pa**in 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 pa** 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...
