Lyrics

[Intro]

They told me faith and music don’t mix

But I can’t separate what saved me from who I became

[Chorus]

I’m not ashamed of the gospel

Even when the pressure feel impossible

Dark days tried taking my confidence

But God kept building my faith through obstacles

I’m not ashamed, no I won’t hide

Truth in my heart and that fire inside

Still standing strong when the world go cold

I’m walking by faith, that’s all I know

[Verse]

I remember nights feeling stuck in my head

Trying to carry weight that God already said

Leave at His feet but I held it instead

Fear had me silent while pride got fed

Now I move different, purpose-driven

Stopped chasing approval from people and critics

I know what it’s like when the pressure gets heavy

But pain hit different when your faith is steady

Track lights shining while I pray in the dark

Trying not to lose who I am for applause

World say blend in, God say stand out

So I had to stop dimming what He put in my heart

I ain’t here preaching like I got no flaws

I’m just talking ‘bout the God that pulled me through storms

Every scar got a story attached

Every setback turned to strength in the end

[Chorus]

I’m not ashamed of the gospel

Even when the pressure feel impossible

Dark days tried taking my confidence

But God kept building my faith through obstacles

I’m not ashamed, no I won’t hide

Truth in my heart and that fire inside

Still standing strong when the world go cold

I’m walking by faith, that’s all I know

[Verse]

I done seen fear try locking my voice

Seen anxiety make doubt feel normal

But God kept calling me higher than comfort

Now I can’t go back to who I was before this

Every loss taught me something deeper

Every valley made my faith stronger

I was searching for identity in everything else

Whole time purpose was right in front of me

Now when I write, I just tell the truth

I don’t gotta fake pain just to make moves

I’d rather make songs that point people upward

Than gain the whole world and still feel empty

Yeah the beat hit hard but the message hit harder

Grace got me walking through fire unbothered

And if they ask why I stand like this

Tell ‘em God carried me farther than I could’ve gone myself

[Chorus]

I’m not ashamed of the gospel

Even when the pressure feel impossible

Dark days tried taking my confidence

But God kept building my faith through obstacles

I’m not ashamed, no I won’t hide

Truth in my heart and that fire inside

Still standing strong when the world go cold

I’m walking by faith, that’s all I know

[Bridge]

So if they judge me

Let ‘em

If they doubt me

Let ‘em

I know who carried me through every dark season

And I won’t hide that anymore

[Final Chorus]

I’m not ashamed of the gospel

Even when the pressure feel impossible

Dark days tried taking my confidence

But God kept building my faith through obstacles

I’m not ashamed, no I won’t hide

Truth in my heart and that fire inside

Still standing strong when the world go cold

I’m walking by faith, that’s all I know
