WHY SHOULD I BE ASHAMED?

Why should I be ashamed

Of standing for the truth

Why should I be ashamed

Of doing what is right

Why should I be ashamed

Of living pure and true

Why should I be ashamed

Of difference from the world

 

Why should I be ashamed

Of being born again

And being a new man

Who is now saved by grace

Why should I be ashamed

Of having fellowship

With those who’re saved from sin

By Heaven recognized

 

Why should I be ashamed

Of following the Lord

When the servants of sin

Are not ashamed of sin

Why should I be ashamed

When I live pleasing Him

Why should I be ashamed

When His servant I am

 

Why should I be ashamed

Saying I won’t join them

When the suggestions come

To sin and compromise

Why should I be ashamed

Standing for righteousness

Why should I be ashamed

Living for God’s own praise

 

Why should I be ashamed

Taking my stand for Christ

Telling the world I’m not

One of its very own

Why should I be ashamed

Denying self and sin

Why should I be ashamed

Taking a righteous stand

 

Why should I be ashamed

Living a holy life

When sinners wouldn’t mind

Living immorally

Why should I be ashamed

Denying what’s impure

Sinners are not ashamed

Of doing what is wrong

 

Why should I be ashamed

Living so differently

Telling the world I won’t

Accommodate its style

Why should I be ashamed

Of dressing holily

Why should I be ashamed

When to them I look strange

 

Why should I be ashamed

Of preaching to sinners

Telling them to repent

And leave their lives of sin

They may laugh me to scorn

My warnings they may spurn

Why should I be ashamed

Of rescuing their souls

 

Why should I be ashamed

When persecutions come

Because I wouldn’t bend

Adjust to sinful ways

Knowing that some great day

Before the Lord I’ll stand

To render an account

Of how I lived on earth

 

Of Christ I’m not ashamed

His glory I’ll proclaim

I’m bold to testify

To Jesus I belong

I’ll daily take my stand

Declare to all around

That I’m not of this world

For Heaven I am bound. Amen
