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 takin 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 takin on Timothy's burden
Oh yes, I am, I'm takin 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

(chorus)

I'm takin on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
And I bear God's testimony
I'M A PRIS'NER OF HIS GRACE
I'm takin 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 takin on Timothy's burden
Oh yes, I am, I'm takin on Timothy's burden

(bridge)

I'll keep the faith (echo)
And I'll fight the fight (ooo)
Here's my life (whoa)

I'm takin on Timothy's burden
I'm takin on Timothy's burden

I'm takin on, I'm takin on, I'm takin on Timothy's burden
I'm takin on, I'm takin on, I'm takin on Timothy's burden

(chorus)

I'm takin on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
And I bear God's testimony
I'M A PRIS'NER OF HIS GRACE
I'm takin 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 takin on Timothy's burden
Oh yes, I am, I'm takin on Timothy's burden

I'm takin on Timothy's burden
