[Verse 1] Timothy carried the strength we could send, To steady your faith when the pressures would bend. He came back with tidings of charity bright, And sorrow found comfort because you stood right. [Bridge - Prayer Refrain] Increase and abound in love toward all, Stand blameless in holiness when Christ shall call. This is the will of God, clear in the word: A life set apart for the name of the Lord. [Verse 2] Possess every vessel with honor and care, Do not take advantage of brethren laid bare. God called not to uncleanness hidden from sight, But gave his own Spirit to lead us in light. [Bridge] Love one another, then grow even more, Study to quiet the noise at the door. Work with your hands and walk honest outside, Needing no mask and no borrowed disguise. [Outro - Final Refrain] Increase and abound in love toward all, Stand blameless in holiness when Christ shall call. This is the will of God, faithful and sure: A heart made steadfast, a conduct made pure.
