Em 
There was a time as a little boy 
G                         D 
When I said I'd follow You 
Em 
But the years have caused the flame 
G                        D 
To burn much stronger now 
Em 
And I'm not burning down any of my bridges 
G                        D 
But I'm burning up inside 
Em                      G                           D 
To flee from my religion and love my neighbour more 

Em 
I'm not ashamed of the gospel 
G                            D 
I'm not ashamed of the one I love

Em 
I'm not ashamed of the gospel 
G                            D    FILL 
I'm not ashamed of the one I love 

Em 
There were times in my barrenness 
G                              D 
When I felt Your pure affection 
Em 
And You heard my frail petitions 
G                     D 
To serve You endlessly 
Em 
But have I loved the tree they put You on? 
G                                    D 
Or my friend who met me at the cross? 
Em 
Oh I want to sing again for my brother now 
G                              D 
And find my way down this mountain 

Em 
I'm not ashamed of the gospel 
G                            D    FILL 
I'm not ashamed of the one I love 
Em 
I'm not ashamed of the gospel 
G                            D    FILL 
I'm not ashamed of the one I love 

REPEAT 

C          G/B          D 
I'm not ashamed anymore 
C                           G/B   D 
'Cos I've felt the oil pour down 
C                         G/B 
And there's a fire that's burning within me (hallelujah) 
             D 
It's burning stronger, it's burning stronger much stronger 
            C               G/B        D 
I feel it's burning stronger, for You, only You
