I'm Not Ashamed

“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age’” (Matt. 28:18-20 ESV).

This song is based off Matthew 28:18-20, often called “The Great Commission,” and was spoken by Jesus to his disciples. It is also based off Acts 1:8, which were Jesus’ words to his disciples concerning the sending of His Holy Spirit to them after he left the earth and ascended back to heaven. It is also based off Romans 1:16-17, which Paul taught concerning the gospel of Jesus Christ and its power for the salvation of people’s lives for eternity. Jesus has commissioned each and every one of us who are his disciples and followers to go and to make disciples, and to teach them to obey Christ’s commands. 

Yet, we do not do this in our own power or strength. We are Christ’s witnesses when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, which is when we accept Jesus Christ into our lives to be our Lord and Savior. He will give us the words to say, so we don’t ever have to be afraid. We should never be ashamed of our Lord or of his gospel, worrying about what to say or how to say it, and worried about what others will think about us. Instead, we must realize that the gospel has the power for salvation in people’s lives.

I’m Not Ashamed  

An Original Work / February 15, 2012

Based off Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Rom. 1:16-17

Go into all the world, 

And tell them the Good News,

Making disciples of all the nations,

Baptizing them in the name of the Father

And of the Holy Spirit,

And of the Son,

Teaching them to obey 

Ev’rything I have commanded you,

And surely I am with you,

E’en to the end of the age.

You will receive power

When the Holy Spirit

Comes on you;

My witnesses you will be

In Samaria, Judea, and Jerusalem,

And to the ends of the earth, amen!

You will receive power

When the Holy Spirit comes on you,

My witnesses you will be

Unto the ends of the earth.

I’m not ashamed of the

Gospel of my Jesus.

For salvation, it’s the power of God.

For in the gospel a righteousness

From God is made known,

A righteousness that is by faith.

I’m not ashamed of the 

Gospel of my Jesus.

For salvation, it’s the power of God.

The righteous will live by faith.
