The good time will come when men will not put
Up with sound doctrine, instead
To suit their own desires they hear,
What their itching ears want to hear
I have fought the good fight
I have finished the race
I have kept the faith
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness
They turn their ears away from the truth
And turn aside to myths
But you keep your head in all situations
Endure hardship
And do the work of our lord
I have fought the good fight
I have finished the race
I have kept the faith
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness
Which the lord
The righteous judge
Will award to me, on that day
And not only unto me
But to you who have longed for him
I am already being poured out
Like a drink offering
I have fought the good fight
I have finished the race
I have kept the faith
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness
Which the lord
The righteous judge
Will award to me, on that day
And not only unto me
But to you who have longed for him
