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 Christian" I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that i stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say..."I am 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 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 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 Christian" I still feel sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon his name.
When I say..."I am Christian". I'm not holier then thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow.
