I'm Not Ashamed

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.



I'm not ashamed of the gospel.

I'm not ashamed of the one I love.

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?

Oh I want to sing again for my brother

And find my way down this mountain



'Cos I've found Jesus

And I felt the oil pour down over me

It's getting stronger, it's getting stronger

Yea, I can feel it's getting stronger now

It's getting stronger

It's getting stronger now
