Lecrae, 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 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
