##(Verse 1)
 Was a time as a little
 boy,
When I said 'I follow
 you'.
 But the years have caused the
 flame,
To burn much stronger
 now.
 And I'm not burning down any of my
 bridges,
But I'm burning up i
nside.
 To flee from my rel
igion and love my neighbour
 more.

##(Verse 2)
 There where times in my bitte
rness
when I felt your pure affe
ction.
 And you hear my frail petitions to serve you endles
sly.
But I have loved the tree that they put you
 on?
 Or my friend who met me at the
 cross?
Oh I want to sing again for my br
other
 And find my way down this mountain.

##(Chorus 1)
 I'm not ashamed of the gospel,
 I'm not ashamed of the one I
 love.
 I'm not ashamed of the gospel,
 I'm not ashamed of the one I
 love.
