Everything seems to be a downward spiral
But I'm on an upward path;
Currents flow against me, still I keep on going.
Wond'ring if I'll ever last,
"Do not fear"—I hear the voice of my Christ Jesus:
"Just have faith, for I am the Lord.
All will pass, but what you have in you's eternal."
So I simply trust His word.

I am not ashamed to be a Christian!
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I'm told!
The world can't understand,
But nonetheless I'll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I'm told!
The world can't understand,
But nonetheless I'll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.

Though I feel like I'm the only one that's different
In these cruel, crooked times,
I will be the salt that kills the world's corruption
And the light that brightly shines.
Lord, it seems like I'm the only one who's standing;
Could it be, I'm left on my own?
"Worry not for I have set apart a remnant
Who, like you, seek Me alone."

We are not ashamed to be Christians!
We are not ashamed to love the Lord!
We are not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what we're told;
The world can't see it now,
But time will tell, somehow
Fire will only manifest the gold!
