Verse 1
Paul wrote to Timothy, "I'm ready to be offered"
"The time of my departure, now is at hand"
"I've fought a good fight". "My course is now finished".
"A crown now is waiting when before God I stand"

(Chorus:)
There is laid up for me (for me a) a Crown of Bright Glory
That is why I must run this race faithfully
There is reserved for me (for me in) up in heaven a mansion
That is where I shall live eternally

Verse 2
Peter said, "I've got an inheritance waiting"
"It's incorruptible and fades not away
"I am kept by God's power through faith unto salvation
"It now is awaiting to be rebuilt someday"
