Hillsong - I'm Not Ashamed Lyrics

I Am Not Ashamed is a concise declaration of redemption, freedom, and new life in Christ. The opening lines move from being found to having an entire world changed, presenting salvation as a decisive transfer from darkness into light. Images of welcome and open arms add a sense of belonging, while the phrase about unending light extends the contrast between former darkness and present life. The lyric responds to that change by calling the earth to sing.\n\nThe central declaration closely echoes Romans 1:16, where the gospel is described as the power of God for salvation. Its movement from darkness to light also recalls Colossians 1:13, which speaks of rescue from the dominion of darkness and entrance into the kingdom of the Son. The closing confession of being alive in the risen Son grounds the song in resurrection faith. Rather than treating the gospel as an abstract idea, the lyric presents it as saving power that creates freedom, restores life, and leads naturally to public praise without shame.
