WHEN I SAY 

"I'M A 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 stumble and
need Christ to be my guide.

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 grace, somehow!
