Are You New to

I AM PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED.
THE DYE HAS BEEN CAST.
THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.
I HAVE STEPPED OVER THE LINE.
I WON'T LOOK BACK, LET UP, SLOW DOWN, OR BACK AWAY.

MY PAST IS REDEEMED, MY PRESENT MAKES SENSE, MY FUTURE IS SECURE.
I'M FINISHED AND DONE WITH LOW LIVING, SLIGHT WALKING,
SMALL PLANNING, SMOOTH KNEES, COLORLESS DREAMS,
TAMED VISIONS, MUNDANE 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, WALK WITH PATIENCE, LIVE BY PRAYER, AND LABOR 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, MY MISSION IS CLEAR.
I CANNOT BE BOUGHT, COMPROMISED, DETOURED, LURED AWAY,
TURNED BACK, DELUDED, OR DELAYED.
I WILL NOT FLINCH IN THE FACE OR SACRIFICE,
HESITATE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ADVERSARY,
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, UNTIL I HAVE STAYED UP,
STORED UP, PRAYED UP, PAID UP,
AND SPOKEN UP FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST.
I MUST GO ON TIL HE COMES, GIVE TIL I DROP, PREACH TIL ALL KNOW,
AND WORK TIL HE STOPS ME.
AND WHEN HE COMES FOR HIS OWN,
HE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM RECOGNIZING ME.
MY BANNER IS CLEAR:

I AM A PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED
