The Power and the Promise

**The Power and the Promise**
(Verse 1)
I used to walk with my head bowed low
Hiding the light that I’d come to know
But there’s a fire that’s burning deep inside
A truth so great that I cannot hide
It’s the breath of life, it’s the morning sun
The work of grace that has just begun.

(Chorus)
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
It’s the breath in my lungs, it’s the water of life
It is the power of God, breaking every chain
To everyone who calls upon His name
To the Jew, to the Greek, to the heart that seeks
The power of God is the strength of the weak!

(Verse 2)
In every word, a mystery is shown
A righteousness that is not my own
From the first step taken to the final breath
It’s the love that conquered the sting of death
Revealed in glory from faith to faith
We’re standing steady in His amazing grace.

(Chorus)
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
It’s the breath in my lungs, it’s the water of life
It is the power of God, breaking every chain
To everyone who calls upon His name
To the Jew, to the Greek, to the heart that seeks
The power of God is the strength of the weak!

(Bridge)
It is written for the world to see
The truth that sets the captive free
We don’t walk by sight, we don’t run in vain
Through the valley of shadows or the pouring rain
The just shall live, oh, the just shall live
By faith!

(Chorus)
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
It’s the breath in my lungs, it’s the water of life
It is the power of God, breaking every chain
To everyone who calls upon His name
To the Jew, to the Greek, to the heart that seeks
The power of God is the strength of the weak!

(Outro)
From faith to faith (The just shall live)
From grace to grace (The just shall live)
I am not ashamed.
No, I am not ashamed.

(Chorus)
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
It’s the breath in my lungs, it’s the water of life
It is the power of God, breaking every chain
To everyone who calls upon His name
To the Jew, to the Greek, to the heart that seeks
The power of God is the strength of the weak!
