Visualizer for “No Shame” by Tenth Avenue North. “There’s a difference between healthy shame and toxic shame,” frontman Mike Donehey explains. “Healthy shame is actually the necessary feeling you have when you realize you’re not God and you have limitations. That feeling of shame is actually a gift from God. Toxic shame is that voice that cries out, ‘Unredeemable.’”

LYRICS:
[Verse 1] So many times I haven’t been true
Kept myself from You
Didn’t know I could be honest
I thought You’d walk away
But then there are times
Grace gets in and I can tell it like it is
No more lies keeping light from my shadows
Got me feeling like a boy who has-
[Chorus] No shame
I’m so free, yeah, it feels like I’m stealing
I’m so free I ain’t scared of the ceiling
No shame
I can look like a fool and enjoy it
I can cry like a man and I own it
No shame
It may look like I’m broke but I’m healing
I’m learning to bring everything that I’m feeling
No shame
So forgiven man, it’s hard to explain it
I’m finally living with no shame
No shame
[Verse 2] I look in Your eyes, full of tenderness
And it doesn’t make sense
You see me just as I am
And I’m never too much
Lord, I gave You all my blame
You gave me a new name
Your love keeps pulling me from my shadows
You got me feeling like a boy who has-
[Chorus] No shame
I’m so free, yeah, it feels like I’m stealing
I’m so free I ain’t scared of the ceiling
No shame
I can look like a fool and enjoy it
I can cry like a man and I own it
No shame
It may look like I’m broke but I’m healing
I’m learning to bring everything that I’m feeling
No shame
So forgiven man, it’s hard to explain it
I’m finally living with no shame
Yeah, I’m living now (I’ve got no shame)
No shame (Ooh)
Ayy, ayy, ayy [Bridge] And the more I am floored by all of Your love
The weight is off my shoulders
The weight is off my shoulders, mm-mmm
And the less I obsess to please everyone
The weight is off my shoulders
The weight is off my shoulders
The weight is off my shoulders, ayy
[Chorus] No shame
I’m so free, yeah, it feels like I’m stealing (No shame)
I’m so free I ain’t scared of the ceiling
No shame
I can look like a fool and enjoy it
I can cry like a man and I own it
No shame ([Sing?], no shame)
It may look like I’m broke but I’m healing (But I’m healing)
I’m learning to bring everything that I’m feeling
No shame (Oh, no shame)
I’m so forgiven man it’s hard to explain it (It’s hard to explain it)
But I’m finally living with no shame [Outro] I’m living with no-o shame
(No shame)
The weight is off my shoulders
No-o shame
The weight is off my shoulders
I got no shame
I’m living with no shame
I’m living with no shame
(No shame)
