Building 429, “Unashamed”

Contemporary Christian pop/rock band Building 429 has released Unashamed, the title track of their latest album, as the follow-up to their single, Impossible.

Now, I gotta tell you, when I first heard Impossible, I thought it was one of Building 429’s best singles. Ever. Then Christian AC went ahead and disappointed me with a middling Top 20 performance. Not something to be ashamed of, but certainly not indicative of the Top 10 status that Impossible absolutely deserved.

Which brings us to Unashamed. Not the best track of the album, but certainly one of the most message-filled and important. This declaration of faith and confidence in our God, and the active steps it takes towards exhorting us to be unashamed of the gospel, is something relatively rare in the feel-good, God-provides CCM of today. I hope Christian AC warms up to this one the way they didn’t to Impossible, because this is a great song with a great message that deserves to be heard.

UNASHAMED Lyrics
Building 429

I am unashamed
I am unashamed

I’ve been down and broken
But I believe what you’ve spoken
You make all things new
I’ve witnessed your mercy
Stirred up all of your glory
And none compared to you
I can’t help but speak of the things you’ve done

So let my life proclaim
I am unashamed

I won’t hide your name
So all the world will know
That you
You are all that I live for
Jesus
I am unashamed

Where your hands are reaching
Is where you’ll always find me
‘Cause your love makes me move
To speak the words you’re speaking
To be the hope the wold has needed
In everything I do
Here in the light of what you’ve done
Let my life proclaim
I am unashamed

I won’t hide your name
So all the world will know
That you
You are all that I live for
Jesus
I am unashamed

So let the waters rise
Let the mountains shake
We lift our anthem high

So let the waters rise
Let the mountains shake
We lift our anthem high
Unashamed

So let the waters rise
Let the mountains shake
We lift our anthem high
Unashamed

So let the waters rise
Let the mountains shake
We lift our anthem high
Unashamed
I am unashamed

I won’t hide your name
So all the world will know
That you
You are all that I live for
Jesus
I am unashamed

I will shout your name
So all the world will know
That you
You’re all that I live for
Jesus
I am unashamed
