Timothy's Burden

I found the lyrics to this song in some of my things from the past. I love songs that have alot of meaning behind them.

Timothy's Burden
By: The Martins

Bringing my boots and my overcoat
Winter's not far down the road
These days grow short
And the truth won't let me go

Chorus:
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Not ashamed to wear these chains
If I suffer things I'm certain
Gonna count my loss for gain
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Oh yes I am, I'm taking on Timothy's burden

The grit of these burdens beyond my heart
And the voice of a true faithful friend
Are pulling me back to my first love again

I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
Gonna bear God's testimony
I'm a prisoner of his grace
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I've got the truth inside
Though I suffer things I'm certain
Keep the faith to fight the fight
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Oh yes I am, I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'll keep the faith and I'll fight the fight
Here's my life
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on, I'm taking on, I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on, I'm taking on, I'm taking on Timothy's burden

I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
And I bear God's testimony
I'm a prisoner of his grace
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I've got the truth inside
Though I suffer things I'm certaing
I'll keep the faith to fight the fight

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

you know I have never heard this song. I really like the lyrics. I feel like persistency is something that has been lost in time and that carrying the burdens of others has been pushed aside for our own. This makes me think of Beth and how she is always doing the little things to show people that she cares and I believe it is those things that display that someone's burden is never too much for Christ and His people.
I miss you!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! Love you!
