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!
