John Michael Talbot - Apostolic Charge Lyrics

(2 Tim. 4:1-7)

I charge you in the name of God,
In the name of Jesus Christ;
To preach the word, stay with the task,
In season and when out.

Chorus:
Correct and reprove, appeal and teach,
Never losing heart;
The time will come when those of this world
Will surely abandon God.

But as for you, be steady and sure,
In hardship, patient and strong
Perform your work to bring the good news,
Fulfill your ministry in God.

(CHORUS)

And as for me, I am poured out,
Like a libation for God,
I fought the fight, I ran the race,
I kept my faith alive.

I fought the fight, I ran the race,
I kept my faith in Christ.
