I am Not Ashamed

Lord, I am not ashamed,
of the hope that lives in me.
I wear my faith openly,
for all the world to see.

You asked me to be the light,
to shine Your Word upon my path.
So, I share Your truth knowing,
at me they'll scorn and laugh.

I am not intimidated,
by the words and thoughts of man.
Instead, I rejoice in the knowledge,
You will finish what You began.

You asked me to be the salt,
to spread Your favor on the earth.
So, I tell the story on my way,
of their sin, Your life, new birth.

I am not afraid,
or concerned what man may do.
For I know that I am Yours,
and they can't take me from You.

You asked me to follow You,
in my every act and deed.
I do so willingly because I know,
You will help me as I need.

I am not beaten,
although man may think he's won.
For I've seen the Crown of victory,
upon my Lord, the Christ, Your Son.

You asked me to be faithful,
my trust in You remains.
I know You will walk with me,
on the narrowest of these plains.

Lord, I am not ashamed,
despite how man wants me to feel.
The Good News is my life,
and Your love I can't conceal.
