All an apostle by God's own will To Timothy, my dear son, be still
Grace, mercy, peace from God above In Christ our Lord we find true love
Fan the flame, let courage rise Empower love and discipline abide
God the gift, the truth revealed In Christ our Saviour life is sealed
I thank my God as ancestors pray Day and night for you I stayed
Your faith sincere from Lois and Eunice A legacy of grace divine and true
Fan the flame, let courage rise Empower love and discipline abide
God the gift, the truth revealed In Christ our Saviour life is sealed
Do not be ashamed of our Lord's name Join in the suffering, bear the pain
Saved and called by grace, not deeds In Christ's appearance light proceeds
Fan the flame, let courage rise Empower love and discipline abide
God the gift, the truth revealed In Christ our Saviour life is sealed
Empower love and discipline abide God the gift, the truth revealed
In Christ our Saviour life is sealed God the good deposit with the Spirit's might
The Gospel's truth in Christ's light In Rome one suffers searched and found
Mercy and grace in Him abound Grace and purpose from time's beginning
In Christ's victory death's defeat is winning With faith and love we'll hold the line
Until the day His glory shines
Empower love and discipline abide
Grace and purpose from time's beginning In Christ's victory death's defeat is winning
