I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel
Unashamed Belief: Embracing the Gospel of Redemption
Lyrics
We're an anchor for those who are hurting
We provide support for those who are in pain.
We're a harbor for those who are lost
We offer refuge for those who are lost.
Sometimes it's not always easy bearing Calvary's cross
It's not always easy to carry the burdens symbolized by Calvary's cross.
We've been ridiculed by those who don't know Him
We have faced criticism from those who do not know Jesus.
And mocked by those who don't believe
We've been ridiculed by those who do not believe in Him.
Still I love standing up for my Jesus
Despite challenges, the speaker stands up for Jesus.
'Cause of all that He's done for me
The commitment is driven by gratitude for what Jesus has done.
That's why I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Expressing a lack of shame for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Affirming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
No, I am not afraid to be counted
Not afraid to be associated with the Gospel.
But I'm willing to give my life
Willing to sacrifice and give one's life for the Gospel.
See I'm ready to be all He wants me to be
Readiness to be whatever Jesus wants.
Give up the wrong for the right
Choosing what is right over what is wrong.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Reiteration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Emphasizing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
For every moment His hand has held mercy
Gratitude for the mercy experienced through God's hand.
For all the love that He's shown all my life
Thankfulness for the love shown throughout life.
A simple thanks doesn't say what I'm feeling
Acknowledging that simple thanks can't fully express emotions.
I get tears in my eyes
Emotional response with tears in the eyes.
So as for me, I'm gonna keep on believin'
Commitment to continue believing in God.
In the One whose been so faithful to me
Faithfulness of God is acknowledged.
I'm not out to please this whole world around me
Not seeking approval from the world, focusing on eternity.
I've got my mind on eternity
Mind is set on eternal matters.
That's why I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Reiteration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Reaffirmation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
No, I am not afraid to be counted
Not afraid to be associated with the Gospel.
But I'm willing to give my life
Willingness to sacrifice and give one's life for the Gospel.
See I'm ready to be all He wants me to be
Readiness to be whatever Jesus wants.
Give up the wrong for the right
Choosing what is right over what is wrong.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Reiteration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Emphasizing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Reiteration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Continued declaration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
I've got too much behind me
Refusing to be bound by the world due to a significant past.
To let this world bind me
A commitment not to be restricted by worldly influences.
To some He's a name
To some, Jesus is just a name, but to the speaker, He is everything.
But to me, He's my everything
Personal acknowledgment of Jesus as the ultimate source of importance.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Reiteration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Continued declaration of not being ashamed of the Gospel.
No, I am not ashamed of the Gospel
Further emphasis on not being ashamed of the Gospel.
Of Jesus Christ.
Final affirmation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
