I'm Not Ashamed

(album: Cutting Edge 3 & Fore - 1995)

There was a time as a little boy
When I said I'd follow You
But the years have caused the flame
To burn much stronger now
And I'm not burning down any of my bridges
But I'm burning up inside
To flee from my religion and love my neighbour more, yeah

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love, no, no
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

There were times in my barrenness
When I felt Your pure affection
And You heard my frail petitions
To serve You endlessly
But have I loved the tree that they put You on?
Or my friend who met me at the cross? Thank You
Oh I want to sing again for my brother now
And find my way down this mountain, yeah, yeah
Finding my way down

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love, no, no
I'm not ashamed, hey, Lord
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

Oh, I'm not ashamed, no no

I'm not ashamed of the gospel. I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed of the One I love. I'm not, yeah
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

I'm not ashamed any more
'Cos I've felt the oil pour down over me
And there's a fire that's burning within me stronger now
It's burning stronger much stronger
Oh, I can feel it
For You only for You

I'm not ashamed
Hey
Yeah
Hey

I'm not ashamed
Here we go, here we go, here we go

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love, no, no
I'm not ashamed, hey, Lord
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

I'm not ashamed
Here we go
I'm not ashamed
