Lyrics
Timothy
Took my seat among the big boys
In a big sort of way
Heard the message they delivered
Heard the message I would say
Yet my youth it counts against me
In this time, in this place
When I sit among the big boys
I feel that I am just a face
I'm timid and get tongue tied
And I'm oh, so very young
My mother's mother and her daugther
Thought that I would be the one
Who honors the one true God
So that's the name that they gave me
Timothy
The apostle Paul found me in Lysta
With a message from the cross
Saw the need of salvation
And salvation for the lost
So with Paul as my mentor
Travelled lands both far and near
Yet in tears deep inside me
Here's the thought that I would hear
I'm timid and get tongue tied
And I'm oh, so very young
My mother's mother and her daugther
Thought that I would be the one
Who honors the one true God
So that's the name that they gave me
Timothy
Timothy they call me
From the day that I was born
To a mother who believed
To a father that was greek
Timothy the apostle called me
"One who honors God"
Sitting down with the big boys
I felt timid just to speak
Though I learned my lesson well
From the apostles and from Paul
I shepherd the flock of God
With the wisdom of my call
Came a letter from my mentor
That said, "Come now I need you"
Not a second thought I had to that
I knew what I would do
Now maybe you believe this
And maybe you do not
But I arrived in Rome
To this very sacred spot
Where the ax glint in the sun
Took the head off with one blow
From the one who called me son
And taught me all I know
Still
I'm timid and get tongue tied
And I'm oh, so very young
My mother's mother and her daugther
Thought that I would be the one
Who honors the one true God
So that's the name that they gave me
Timothy
