Guard the Trust by Steve Camp Lyrics

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
