When I say…”I am a Christian
I’m not shouting “I am saved”
I’m whispering “I was lost”
That is why I chose this way.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble.
And need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on
When I say “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed.
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are all too visible.
But God believes I’m worth it.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
Which is why I speak his name.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I am loved.
