Lyrics
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I am proud and unafraid to share my beliefs.
I want this light in me to show
I desire the inner light of my faith to be visible in my actions.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
I openly declare and acknowledge the name of Jesus Christ.
What are we sneaking around for?
Raising a question about the need for secrecy or hidden actions.
Who are we trying to please?
Questioning the motivation behind our actions and who we aim to please.
Shrugging off sin, apologizing like we're spreading some kind of disease
Rejecting the idea of downplaying sins and apologizing as if it's a contagious disease.
I'm saying, "No way, no way"
Asserting a firm refusal, emphasizing the rejection of the mentioned behavior.
I'm not ashamed to let you know
Reiteration of being unashamed and willing to express one's beliefs.
I want this light in me to show
Expressing the desire for the internal light of faith to be evident in one's life.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
Restating the open acknowledgment and proclamation of Jesus Christ.
This one says it's a lost cause
Referencing the belief of some that it's futile to share faith outside of church.
Save your testimonies for church time
Highlighting a perspective advising to reserve religious testimonies for specific times.
The other ones state you'd better wait until you do a little market research
Indicating another perspective advising to conduct market research before sharing faith.
I'm saying, "No way, no way"
Reaffirming the rejection of these limiting perspectives.
I'm not ashamed to let you know
