Shall I Be Ashamed?

Andrew L. Byers • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 8:38

Verse 1

Shall I be ashamed of my Savior and King, Who left His bright glory, salvation to bring? Who was cruelly crucified, wounded, and maimed— Of such a great Savior shall I be ashamed?

Chorus

No, no! I’ll not be ashamed; No, no! I’ll not be ashamed.

Verse 2

Shall I be ashamed of His wonderful word? Or blush when the praises of Jesus are heard? Shall the laugh of the skeptic my lips tightly seal, Lest I my profession of Christ should reveal?

Chorus

No, no! I’ll not be ashamed; No, no! I’ll not be ashamed.

Verse 3

Shall I be ashamed of the people of God Who walk in the pathway that Jesus has trod? Shall I shrink from opposing the forces of sin, And grieve from my bosom the Spirit within?

Chorus

No, no! I’ll not be ashamed; No, no! I’ll not be ashamed.

Verse 4

I’ll not be ashamed of my dear loving Lord, Ashamed of His people, His cause, or His word; I’ll be faithful in Jesus, His banner I’ll bear, The joy of His kingdom forever to share.

Chorus

No, no! I’ll not be ashamed; No, no! I’ll not be ashamed.
