Bring me my books and my overcoat
Winter's not far down that road
These days grow short
And the truth won't let me go
Chorus:
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Not ashamed to wear these chains
If I suffer things uncertain
I'm gonna count my loss for gain
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
The grip of eternity on my heart
And the voice of a true faithful friend
Are pulling me back to my first love again
Repeat Chorus
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
And I bear God's testimony
I'm a prisoner of His grace
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I've got the truth inside
Though I suffer things uncertain
I'll keep the faith
And fight the fight
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Oh yes I am
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'll keep the faith
And I'll fight the fight
Here's my life
