The Fellowship of the Unashamed

I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
The die has been cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ. I have Holy Spirit Power
I won't look back, let up, slow down,
 back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense,
and my future is secure.

I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking,
small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams,
tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving,
and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position,
 promotions, plaudits or popularity.
I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized,
praised, regarded or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on His presence,
love with patience, live by prayer and labour with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven,
 my road is narrow, my way is rough,
my companions are few, my Guide is reliable,
and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,
compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back,
deterred, diluted or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,
 hesitate in the presence of adversity,
negotiate at the table of the enemy,
 ponder at the pool of
popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, or slow up until
I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and
spoken up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I must go till' He comes, give till' I drop,
preach till' all know and work till' He stops me.
And when He comes for His own,
He will have no problem recognizing me.
My banner is clear:
I am part of the 'Fellowship of the Unashamed.
