Some of my friends might remember how we improvised this from a photocopied piece of sheet music from an old copy of the Boys' Brigade's BB Gazette and made it in time (and apparently in tune) for the 1st Petaling Jaya Company's Enrolment Service in 1994. I finally found a video of BBC's Voice of Praise where this song was first sung in public :
We didn't do too badly now, did we?
I Am Not AshamedIncidentally, the 1st Petaling Jaya Company is celebrating her 25th Anniversary with a fundraising dinner this April 19th. Let me know ASAP if you are interested.
- John PantryI am not ashamed to belong to Jesus
I am not afraid to stand my ground
For there is no higher cause
Than working for the King
To Him I lift my praise
For I am not ashamedWhom then shall I fear?
What shall daunt my spirit?
Sure and steadfast, anchored firm to the cross
Standing with my brothers
Serving God and others
Though the world may ridicule, I'll still sayAt the King's returning
Every soul will know Him
All creation shall bow down to His name
Brothers all, together
Serving Him forever
He who gave His life for me, I will praiseWe are not ashamed to belong to Jesus
We are not afraid to stand our ground
For there is no higher cause
Than working for the King
To Him we lift our praise
For we are not ashamed© 1990 Mercy/Vineyard Publishing
