Oh my dear Timothy

Hold on to the faith

Keep your conscience pure and holy

Ah fight the good fight every day

Don't give in to myths and fables

But train yourself for godliness

You've got to be an example in your youth

You've got to ah be faithful to the truth

You've got to watch your life and doctrine closely

It'll save you and those who hear you too

Guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Hold on to the faithful word

Ah this you must

You gotta guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Through the spirit who dwells in you

Guard the trust

Oh my son Timothy

I charge you in the sight of God

Preach the word when it's convenient

Preach the word when it's not

There will come a time when truth is compromised

There'll be teaching for itching ears

But you ah be sober in all things

But you endure hardship for the King

But do do the work of an evangelist

Ah this is my dying wish

Guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Hold on to the faithful word

Ah this you must

You gotta guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Through the spirit who dwells in you

Guard the trust

I have fought the fight I have finished the race

I've been faithful to him for I have kept the faith

Now there's laid up for me a crown of righteousness

And there waits one for all who love the coming of Jesus

You got to guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Hold on to the faithful word

Ah this you must

You gotta guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Through the spirit who dwells in you

Guard the

Guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Hold on to the faithful word

Ah this you must

You gotta guard the trust

You gotta guard the trust

Through the spirit who dwells in you

Guard the trust
