I Am Not Ashamed

We're an anchor for those who are hurting
Seems we're a harbor for those who are lost
And sometimes its not always easy bearing Calvary's cross
We've been ridiculed by those who don't know Him
Sometimes we're mocked by those who don't believe
Still I love standing up for my Jesus
'Cause of all that He's done for me

[Chorus]
That's why I am not ashamed of the gospel
The gospel of Jesus Christ
No, I am not afraid to be counted
But I'm willing to give my life
See I'm ready to be
All He wants me to be
Give up the wrong for the right
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ

For every moment His hand has held mercy
And for all the love that He's shown all my life
A simple thanks doesn't say how I'm feeling
I get tears in my eyes
So as for me, I've made up my mind to keep on believing
In the One who's been so faithful
I'm not out to please this whole world around me
I've got my mind on eternity

[Chorus]
That's why I am not ashamed of the gospel
The gospel of Jesus Christ
No, I am not afraid to be counted
But I'm willing to give my life
See I'm ready to be
All He wants me to be
Give up the wrong for the right
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ

I've got too much behind me
To let this world blind me
To some He's just a name
But to me, He's my everything
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel
Oh, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
