WHEN I SAY ... " I AM CHRISTIAN "

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."I'm whispering "I was lost,Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.I'm confessing that I stumbleand need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.I'm professing that I'm weak And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain.I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,I'm just a simple sinner. Who received God's good grace, somehow!
