Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Paul charged young Timothy, to labor for the Lord,
Handle truth with care and skill, in His holy Word.
Be a worker unashamed, with faith that’s pure and true,
Approved by God forever, in all we say and do!
(Chorus)
Approved and faithful, I’ll stand for Jesus’ truth,
Handling His Word rightly, from my earliest youth!
With diligence and honor, His love will make me strong,
Approved and faithful, I’ll praise Him all lifelong!
(Verse 2)
No falsehood can deceive us, when His truth is in our heart,
His Spirit guides our study, His Word will ne’er depart.
With care we’ll share His gospel, to light the darkened way,
Approved by Christ our Savior, we’ll serve Him every day!
(Chorus)
Approved and faithful, I’ll stand for Jesus’ truth,
Handling His Word rightly, from my earliest youth!
With diligence and honor, His love will make me strong,
Approved and faithful, I’ll praise Him all lifelong!
(Bridge)
Oh, His Word’s our firm foundation, His truth our guiding flame,
We’ll labor for His glory, to magnify His name!
(Verse 3)
When we reach that glorious kingdom, where His truth will ever shine,
We’ll praise the One who led us, with His gospel so divine.
‘Til then we’ll keep on working, with hearts that won’t grow dim,
Approved and faithful, forever praising Him!
(Chorus)
Approved and faithful, I’ll stand for Jesus’ truth,
Handling His Word rightly, from my earliest youth!
With diligence and honor, His love will make me strong,
Approved and faithful, I’ll praise Him all lifelong!
(Outro)
Hallelujah, praise His name, His Word will e’er remain!
Approved and faithful, we’ll lift His holy name!
