"I am a Christian"            

             When I say 

                     "I am a Christian"

         I'm not shouting "I am saved"
         I'm whispering "I was lost"

         That's 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 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

         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'm loved.
