There was a time as a little boy
When I said I'd follow you
But the years have caused the flame
To burn much stronger now
And I'm not burning down any of my bridges
But I'm burning up inside
To flee from my religion and love my neighbour more.

I'm not ashamed of the gospel.
I'm not ashamed of the one I love.
I'm not ashamed of the gospel.
I'm not ashamed of the one I love.

There were times in my barrenness
When I felt your pure affection
And you heard my frail petitions
To serve you endlessly
But have I loved the tree that they put you on?
Or my friend who met me at the cross?
Oh I want to sing again for my brother
And find my way down this mountain

'Cos I've found Jesus
And I felt the oil pour down over me
It's getting stronger, it's getting stronger
Yea, I can feel it's getting stronger now
It's getting stronger
It's getting stronger now
