Unashamed was a Christian hardcore punk band that became one of the founding bands in the Spirit-filled hardcore movement. Their bold faith based lyrics center around ideas directly lifted from the Bible and conservative morality instead of the usual punk themes of teen angst, anger, and pain. Their music was more in the vein of East Coast hardcore and metalcore, such as Warzone and 25 ta Life. They released two albums on Tooth and Nail Records.

1995 Interview with Jeff Jacquay
2007 Interview with Jeff Jacquay
I feel I am falling,
from grips of righteousness.
Trapped in sin, there's no way out.
I am weak, the walls keep building.
I feel so helpless, I feel so all alone.
Bound in chains,
the power of sin grow over me.
I try to separate,
but it can't be done.
Darkness surrounds me,
leaving me without help.
I can't get out,
I can't find help.
I'm trapped inside my own iniquities.
I try to separate,
but it can't be done,
without help from above.
Then I realized,
He's been there the whole time.
I'm the one who left,
and turned my back on God.
I'm the one at fault,
I'm the one to blame.
I'm a new creation.
I have been justified,
by the blood of the One,
who hung on the cross.
I will no longer give into my desires.
I will not, I will not fall,
and live on my own.
You'll be there to pick me up,
to pick me up again and again.
I will not fall.
I will not fall.
I will not fall down.
Innocent,
He shed His blood for me.
Saved the world for you and me.
I will stand for Him,
