Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Chris August has released Unashamed of You as the second single off his latest release, The Upside of Down. I am really, really excited about this, because Unashamed of You is my favorite track off The Upside of Down and, really, my favorite Chris August song ever. It’s brilliant: it’s encouraging, it’s evangelical, it’s singable, it’s catchy, it’s perfect Contemporary Christian pop-rock. I cannot tell you how excited I am that he released Unashamed of You, and my personal bias for this song aside, I will not understand how a song like this couldn’t make Top 10. My personal prediction: it will exceed the chart performance of previous single Center of It and make Top 10. Let’s go, Mr. August!
UNASHAMED OF YOU Lyrics
Chris August
I’m really good at dancin’, dancin’ round the point
What’s the point of dancing just so people like me
I’ve wasted chances to speak up and make some noise
Why do I let these moments pass me by
Everybody ought to know
I will sing about Your love, I will shout it to the sky
I will tell of what You’ve done, when the people ask me why
I live my life this way I’ll say that I am unashamed of You
I feel like a preacher, I’ve got something to say
I’m treating right now like it’s now or never
I could talk about the weather, could talk about nothing all day
I’d rather talk about what lasts forever
Everybody needs to know that
I will sing about Your love, I will shout it to the sky
I will tell of what You’ve done, when the people ask me why
I live my life this way I’ll say that I am unashamed of
The gospel, the cross, the good news for the lost
The blood that spilled down Calvary’s Hill
For what Your grace did and what Your grace does
Oh I am unashamed of Your name, Jesus
I will sing about Your love, I will shout it to the sky
I will tell of what You’ve done and when the people ask me why
I live my life this way I won’t deny that I’ve been changed
I’ll point them to the one who saves, I’ll say that I am unashamed of You
Unashamed of You
The Gospel and the cross, there’s some good news for the lost
His name is Jesus
We lift our hands to you, I lift my hands to you
