I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
What are we sneaking around for?
Who are we trying to please?
Shrugging off sin, apologizing like we're spreading some kind of disease
I'm saying, "No way, no way"
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
This one says it's a lost cause
Save your testimonies for church time
The other ones state you'd better wait until you do a little market research
I'm saying, "No way, no way"
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
