I Am Not Ashamed Lyrics

The Heritage Singers
Intro:
Verse 1:
We're an anchor for those who are hurting
We're a harbor for those who are lost
Sometimes its not always easy,
Bearing Calvary's cross
We've been ridiculed by those who don't know Him
Mocked by those who don't believe
Still I love standing up for my Jesus
Because 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
And 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
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel
Of Jesus Christ
Instrumental:
Verse 2:
For ev'ry moment His hand has held mercy
For all the love that He's shown on my life
A simple thanks doesn't say how I'm feeling
I get tears in my eyes
So as for me I'm gonna keep on believing
In the One who's been so faithful to me
I'm not out to please this whole world around me
I've got my mind on eternity
Chorus 2:
That's why I am not ashamed of the gospel
The gospel of Jesus Christ
No, I am not afraid to be counted
And 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
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel
Bridge:
I've got too much behind me to let this world bind me
To some He's a name, but to me, He's my ev'rything
I am not ashamed of the gospel
No, I am not ashamed of the gospel
