I USED TO BE ASHAMED OF JESUS

by SIXTUS ONYEANUSI  
10/17/2011 / Christian Living


I used to be ashamed of Jesus
I heard His word, but not serious
I poured contempt on His gospel
I also despised God's people
But loved them that love what I loved

I came one day to the cross roads
I did not know which way to go
Loneliness echoed in my soul
Restless, hopeless, thirsty and dry
I failed when all my best I tried
I saw and knew my wretchedness
Before me stood my wickedness
I then realized I was helpless
No peace, no strength, no happiness
Those things that were my great delight
I came to see their emptiness
My fears grew higher by the night
I needed help than anything
...on my way to eternity
Whether in peace was uncertain
My health was fast slipping away
My fears grew more seeing my stains
My tears rolled down the cheek like rain
There were guilts, regrets in my heart

I knew I'd not yet got it right
Someone came with the gospel light
God sent Him, I knew that for sure
He came with care, He came with cure
He came with hope, he came with love
He came with the love of the Lord
He came with the word from above
The word of truth, of grace and pow'r
I felt God's love run through my soul
I felt God's strength run through my bones
Then felt God smiling upon me
He made me know I'm forgiven
For Jesus whom I've believed in
The Blood of Jesus washed my stains
Miracle! I got born again
Now I'm accepted in the beloved
Now I'm surrounded by His love
His true love-everlasting love

Truly, I'm not thesame again
I'm saved! I'm changed! I'm saved! I'm changed
All things are of God; different now
I live and move by His great pow'r
This is the only life I've got
...living to the glory of God

Oh Jesus, I'm no more the same
Oh Jesus, I'm no more ashamed
I used to think so wrong of You
But now I've known that You are true
You mean the very best for me

I used to be ashamed of Jesus
But no more! I have His Spirit
I stand up tall for Him; He's sweet
Whether at home or down the street
I take delight to share His light
He did a GREAT work in my soul
I'll not hide what He did for me
I owe Jesus to make Him known
I'm no more ashamed of Jesus
