Newsboys' song 'I'm Not Ashamed' is a bold declaration of faith and a call to openly speak the name of Jesus Christ without fear. The lyrics challenge believers to stop hiding their faith or apologizing for it, rejecting the idea that sharing the gospel is something to be embarrassed about. The song encourages Christians to let their light shine and to be unashamed witnesses, even when culture dismisses faith as irrelevant or suggests it should be kept private. It's a straightforward anthem about courage and conviction in sharing one's faith.

[Chorus:]
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
What are we sneaking around for?
Who are we trying to please?
Shrugging off sin, apologizing
Like we're spreading some kind of disease
I'm saying, "No way,
No way."
[Chorus]
This one says it's a lost cause
Save your testimonies for church time
The other ones state you'd better wait
Until you do a little market research
I'm saying, "No way
No way"
[Chorus x4]
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
(Of Jesus Christ)
[Chorus x4]
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
