I Am Not Ashamed

Christianity comes easy
For Americans today
But it's a different story
For those in countries far away.

We can worship freely
As we sit there in our pews
But they must worship in secret
Or their very lives they'll lose.

This brings me to the point
Of these verses you now read
Will you witness for Him, unashamed
When others would suffer and bleed?

God's not asking much of you
But to be available when He calls
Don't be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
Be ready to share it with all.

It's the power of God unto salvation
We carry it within our hearts
Won't you open up your lips
His message to impart?
