Now Assured and Not Ashamed


"I will speak of Thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed" (Psalm 119:46).  "Surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off… Buy the truth, and sell it not" (Proverbs 23:18,23).  "What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard Him, and observed Him… for the ways of the LORD are right" (Hosea 14:8,9). "Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.  So they went, and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch" (Matthew 27:65,66). 

There is no cause to be ashamed
To testify of God's salvation. 
The Gospel that we have proclaimed
Is open to examination. 

We ought to prayerfully invest
In thoughtful time to study well
The evidence which shall attest
To truth we buy and will not sell. 

Let idols no more turn our eyes;
Let us be done with their distraction!
They captivate the lost with lies,
But Christ the Lord is our Attraction.

How rightly now we are assured 
And not ashamed of our decision 
To trust our Savior's proven Word
As we declare that He is risen!
