Be not ashamed

Be not ashamed of the Gospel,

It's the power of God's Word.

It brings light and salvation

Wherever it is heard.

It illuminates the darkness,

Gives life unto the dead,

Hope to all the hopeless,

Frees those who live in dread.

Be not ashamed of Calvary,

The cross is where we stand,

When sin and trials oppress us

And life's like sinking sand.

We gain a robe of righteousness;

A crown upon our head;

A garment of salvation;

And a feast of Living Bread.

Be not ashamed of Jesus,

His blood was shed for me.

The Prisoner hung upon the cross,

That I might be set free.

The hands which hold me underneath,

Bear wounds of lasting love,

That I may spend eternity

With Him in heav'n above.
