how amazing that John James went through depression, alcoholism, and addiction.... left Newsboys, and is now a preacher in Australia. God turned his life around. I really believe there are reasons things happen early in life, amd we can use our experiences to show the forgiveness of a Loving Savior, Jesus, who died for ALL. Equally placing our sins as far as from the east to the west, and giving us hope for eternal love, peace and the perfect presence of Him, for ever!
What lyrics to break my heart of stone!!! No way!! Just remember this Master Piece today and crying bcoz Jesus loves me always! I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ. Thanks Peter.
I worked with John for years when he left Peter and the band, and moved back to Australia. Never a dull moment working with him, quite a funny guy.. great times, and loved hearing the stories from the band days.
Saw them in the 90's in El Salvador, one of my favorites bands ever, I just still hearing Newsboys always, I am 46 years old and thanks to God for them. Because they still Rocking for the Lord.
World-class Christian music. This band was tight, relevant, well written, great lyrics and so much fun in concert. We learned of them through the Down Under the Big Top video. Watched it several times last week and was reminded of the geniuses them all. Thanks guys for allowing me the opportunity to raise my kids on some good music.
Love this Christian song, we’re not ashamed, we’re proud and shout to the world about our Lord Jesus Christ. All Glory and Honor and Praise is yours alone. Thank you Lord!
This blew me away when I first heard it in the early 1990s. No ther Christian music sounded like this at the time. It was cool, and catchy and unapologetic. I still think it's great.
First heard this song when skating at Lloyd's Roller Rink during the Christian Music Skates in the early 90s and got to like it almost right away. Still sounds good over 25 years later . A good message as well..
❤❤❤One of the most amazing songs ever!!! We need to stand up for our PERFCECT SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST our LORD!!!❤❤❤ HE is our PRECIOUS AWESOME GOD & KING!!!I❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ my HEAVENLY FATHER!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
Much much love for these guys!! Unfortunately i never got to meet them when they hung around here in the early 90s. Saw em twice!! Wonderful fun worship!! The folks from the land of Howard Finster say's "Hey!"
I also went and bought all their older albums a few years ago, going back to the very beginning and it was very interesting to see how they changed over time.
They really started out sounding like a new wave type band and gradually grew into their classic sound through the early to mid 90s. The mid-90s was peak newsboys untl the late 2000s
First heard this song as a chaperon for our church group when we went to Centrifuge back in the 90's. This song has been in my head ever since. The group has evolved and still making beautiful Christian music. Many young adults have been brought to the Lord using the words in songs. Get them saved with whatever it takes because one day it will be too late. I am 65 years young and this type music still stirs my soul.
I ALWAYS wear Jesus t-shirts and say Jesus to ALL who want to hear it and to those who don't!🙏🙌 Jesus 24/7 is what we're called to do in this dying world❤ AGAPE love as Jesus does!!!!!👍

still... why do I think Christian Music was the best at this time. it was so musically diverse and more unique in my opinion. One of my favourite songs since a child.
Thanks for posting. I never knew a concept video for this song existed. The version I saw was just a bunch of live festival clips of them performing the song.
0:17/3:48 Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? I do miss Nik Kershaw.
This was the first Newsboys album I purchased and saw them open for Petra! Great project! Nicole C. Mullen did the BGVs. I believe it was Donna McAfee on the recording.
@@CryptoFanzPEZ Jews,Christians as well as Muslims don't be ashamed to show the light in you don't listen to nonbelievers or cult followers press on in name of Jesus amen
@@valentincavazzos4420 jews deny Jesus, Muslims deny Jesus as GOD. A Christian is someone who follows Jesus Christ. This universal religion thing is of the devil to make Christians think they don't have to witness to other religious groups.
As an ANTI-XTIAN myself [***NOT 4 FAITHFUL REAZNS*** I'm not necessarily a faithful Muslim, PLZ], I'v ALWAYS LUVD this song since I 1st encounterd it when releasd a Generation ago now!!!!! I'm playing it many tymz now as I CMMNT!!!!! Mag(nificent), superlative!!!!!..........✝️✝️✝️⭐⭐⭐
I think this was Filmed in my hometown of Virginia Beach ,I remember some Friends telling and we went and watched,Looks like our Famous pink hotel in the Background
To let the light shine forth is to make Jesus known to all, as Jesus is being made known to all the light of God becomes more brilliant and darkness grows tiny to a speck.
LYRICS I'm not ashamed to let you know I want this light in me to show I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ. What are we sneaking around for? Who are we trying to please? Shrugging off sin, apologizing like we're spreading some kind of disease. I'm saying, "no way. No way." I'm not ashamed to let you know I want this light in me to show I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ This one warns it's lost cause - save your testimonies for church time The other ones state you'd better wait until you do a little market research I'm saying, "no way. No way." I'm not ashamed to let you know I want this light in me to show I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
You have no idea how full of the Holy Spirit Christians of the 90's truly were. Especially the early 90's. Well, they definitely thought they were at least
@@ThisisGold1 it would be just amazing to catch the all original line up again. I mean I love DC Talk but take me to your leader was what got me into that whole scene
@@ThisisGold1 absolutely the same, the energy from that album was just unbelievable. I saw them live at Acquire The Fire and when they were singing Breakfast they threw a box of captain crunch at me. It was such a magical experience we were all passing the captain crunch around and just had a blast.
I do not repent for this would unacceptably dishonor the great Christian work and evangelization originally associated with Saint Paul of Ephesus, who was Christ's spiritual trumpet and prophet, but whose conception can be found before Paul in the gnostic Gospel of the truest apostle Mary Magdalene, leader of the most faithful women of the sacred tomb. This is an authenticated early Christian text found in more than one consistent copy; to the best of my recollection. It's definitely authentic and early Christian and reflects a great philosophical and spiritual lecture with questions and answers with Lord Christ; and critically a vision given from Lord Christ to the Apostle Mary Magdalene. Yet as in my struggle with the money-obsessed taxi-man who was paid with both money, insults, and contempt, I have always been and described myself as a humble 'servant of Lord Yahweh and the Kingdom of Heaven.' As Lord Christ Nazareth born in wild divinity beside the animals, dejected of men even then, is Alpha Omega and one with God Yahweh himself, it troubles me nothing but seems pious to declare myself a servant and slave of Christ of Bethlehem and Nazareth. This will only be understood to be low or shameful by those who do not understand the Kingdom of Heaven, where 'the Last shall be First, and the Last shall be First.' 'He who would be first among us must make himself a slave of everyone.(within the circle of noble spirited devotees of the Kingdom of Heaven.) So proud and 'not ashamed' am I to declare my slavery to Jesus Christ!
That's not Peter it's John James he's a motivational speaker now had lots of problems with addiction and left the group back in the 90s he's all good now rededicated his life
The strange thing about this video is that it shows John James singing it, but on the record it was Peter Furler who actually sang this song. I guess during this time most people were used to John James singing all the songs so they just had him lip sync to Peter's vocals in the video. Starting with the Not Ashamed album, which this song is from, Peter Furler started doing most of the vocals. I still miss having them both in the band.
This was the first Christian band I ever heard on CCM radio! Oh I miss the first sets of " originals" I still like today's version , but totally different bands. Been so many lineup changes through the years!
