Paul writes to Timothy, young & true
To guide his path & all he must do
He urges him to stay strong in faith
To teach God’s word & guide with grace
“Command what is good, rebuke what is wrong
Be gentle, firm, & humble, strong
Let no one despise your youthful ways
But set the Church on fire with praise”
He warns of false teachers, full of pride
Who spread vain words & lead aside
They love to argue, crave for gain
But truth in Christ will still remain
“Fight the good fight, uphold the call
For God will guard you through it all
Hold faith & love, a good conscience keep
Live in the Spirit, awake, not asleep”
Paul reminds of prayer for all men
For kings & rulers, again & again
That we may live in peace & quiet
A life of God, free from riot
He counsels on the household ways
Wives & husbands, children, always
Servants & leaders, pure & just
Walk in the Lord, in faith & trust
He urges Timothy to avoid the strife
Of endless gossip & worldly life
Instead pursue righteousness & love
A holy heart, set on things above
“Train yourself in godly skill
Be strong in word, in heart, in will
Be an example to all you teach
Show God’s great power within your reach”
Paul closes with encouragement & care
A final blessing, a fervent prayer
May faith & love abound each day
And guide your steps in God’s pure way
