Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ?
Oh, no, in truth, not I,
From death He rose, though sacrificed,
With thousands asking, ‘Why! ? ‘
Yet prophecies from centuries
Long past explained to Man,
The purposes God meant to please,
According to His plan…
So pardon me, if not ashamed
That God’s Word was fulfilled
And that my lost soul was reclaimed
And that my heart is thrilled…
And that I walk by faith alone
And that I’m reconciled
And that to God my name’s well known
And that I’m now God’s child…
Yes, pardon me, for joys received
Because of Calvary
And baptised, too, since I believed,
Blessed for eternity…
With wondrous gifts the Spirit shares,
To help God’s Kingdom grow,
In answer to the sacred prayers
That daily overflow…
Please, pardon me, for being bold,
Declaring Jesus Lord,
The greatest story ever told
Could not remain ignored…
I heard it as a child of grace,
I learnt Christ died for all,
I yearned to see the Saviour’s face,
Like Peter did and Paul…
Do pardon me, I know that’s quaint,
Your turn has not yet come,
Yet if you should become a saint,
You will not scoff, like some…
That day will be the greatest day,
Once saved, the Lord will bless,
When all your sins are washed away,
If Jesus you confess…
By this I mean, Christ died for you,
Good Shepherd that He was,
When you’re like me, you’ll love Him, too
And boldly preach the Cross…
To those who trust grace proves enough
To reach God’s Pearly Gates,
Christ tells them, as the King of Love,
‘Eternity awaits! ‘
