This time last year I was looking at what it was to be ashamed of the gospel. My song reference was to one of the greatest gospel songs I’ve heard from one of the greatest gospel components I’ve ever heard. That component is Mr. Andrae Crouch, who has hopefully been informed by his peers and those that have followed the trail he blazed what a tremendous blessing he has been to the Body of Christ.
The song is the superb soul stirrer We Are Not Ashamed. I remember crying when I first heard it as a little boy, because it sounded awesome and as I got older and understood the words a bit more I started crying because it reminded me of what the power of the gospel did in my life and can do in the lives of others as I live it out in a manner somewhat unashamed.
Over a year ago I came across a charming version of the song arranged by Donald Lawrence and lead by Karen Clark-Sheard and Mary, Mary. It is another great pleasure to hear two of my favourite male singers put their spin on it and further do the thing justice. Excellent song, excellently rendered and reminding me again that such is this power of God onto salvation that I should not be ashamed of this glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
