Naomi Raine - Never Be Ashamed Lyrics
Lyrics
We want to be invaded
We want to be overcome by You
Release Your glory in the room
We want to be surrounded
Just to be face to face with truth
To show the world the living proof
We are the people of the Most High God
We will wear it proud, we will share our freedom
We're going to tell it to the whole wide world
We will sing it loud, we will both send Jesus
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
We will never be ashamed
We want to live abandoned
Leaving it all to fall on You
Lord, let them seals, watching You
We're in the great revival
Waking the hearts of those You love
Till the whole world is shaking now
We are the people of the Most High God
We will wear it proud, we will share our freedom
We're going to tell it to the whole wide world
We will sing it loud, we will both send Jesus
We are the people of the Most High God
We will wear it proud, we will share our freedom
We're going to tell it to the whole wide world
We will sing it loud, we will both send Jesus
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
We will never be ashamed
We have overcome by the word of our testimony
We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb
Victory is won by the Son, Hallelujah
We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We have overcome by the word of our testimony
We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb
Victory is won by the Son, Hallelujah
We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We have overcome by the word of our testimony
We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb
Victory is won by the Son, Hallelujah
We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
We will never be ashamed
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus
We will never be ashamed

Never Be Ashamed
Meaning & Inspiration
Naomi Raine's "Never Be Ashamed," released on March 13, 2020, as part of her *Back to Eden, Pt. II* album, stands as a powerful anthem of unwavering faith and bold declaration. The song immediately establishes a core theme: the fervent desire for God's undeniable presence and an unapologetic embrace of Christian identity. It's a call to profound spiritual immersion, reflecting a collective yearning for divine glory to not just touch, but entirely overwhelm, the human experience and the physical space. This opening sets the stage for a narrative of surrender and a deep hunger for encountering absolute truth, echoing the sentiment of Psalm 42:1-2, where the soul longs for God as a deer pants for water, eager to stand in His illuminating light and become a testament to His reality in the world.
The essence of "Never Be Ashamed" is a resounding affirmation of a believer's identity as part of "the people of the Most High God." This isn't just a quiet conviction but a vibrant, public declaration, a commitment to "wear it proud" and "share our freedom." This segment articulates the joyous responsibility of carrying the Gospel—the good news of Jesus—to a world yearning for hope. It beautifully encapsulates the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20, urging believers to "go therefore and make disciples of all nations." The song's repeated assertion, "We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus," becomes its heartbeat, drawing direct inspiration from Romans 1:16, where the Apostle Paul proclaims, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." This isn't mere defiance; it’s an understanding of the immense power and freedom found in the Gospel, a freedom too significant to be kept silent or hidden.
As the song progresses, it deepens this theme of devotion by expressing a desire to "live abandoned," entrusting everything to God. This speaks to a radical surrender, a willingness to shed worldly attachments and anxieties, placing complete faith in His sovereign care. Such a posture aligns with Jesus' teaching in Matthew 16:24, where He calls followers to "deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." This surrender isn't passive; it's an active participation in what the song identifies as "the great revival," a spiritual awakening where hearts are stirred and the world itself feels the tremor of divine presence. This longing for revival reflects biblical promises, such as 2 Chronicles 7:14, which speaks of God hearing from heaven and healing the land when His people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from wicked ways. The song champions the idea that true transformation begins with individual abandonment to God, leading to a ripple effect across communities and nations.
The profound bridge of "Never Be Ashamed" then shifts to celebrating the source of every believer's victory. It declares, "We have overcome by the word of our testimony, We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb." This powerful statement directly references Revelation 12:11, illustrating that the victory experienced by God’s people is not through their own strength, but through the sacrificial act of Jesus—"the blood of the Lamb"—and their personal declaration of faith and experience with Him. Our "testimony" becomes a potent weapon against spiritual adversity, a spoken truth of God's work in our lives. The acknowledgment that "Victory is won by the Son, Hallelujah" serves as a joyful affirmation that salvation and triumph over sin and death are already secured through Jesus Christ, making His followers not just participants, but inheritors of this finished work. This message of overcoming through Christ resonates with Romans 8:37, asserting that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." The relentless repetition of the core "Never Be Ashamed" chorus throughout the song reinforces this foundational truth, transforming it from a mere statement into a steadfast vow, an anthem for believers to carry in their hearts and voices.
